8th JS limps to 3rd year with crises

SHAKHAWAT LITON
With uncertainty hanging over its fate, the eighth parliament completes two years of its five-year tenure today.
The Jatiya Sangsad has yet to begin effective functioning for what analysts say was negative politics of both the ruling and opposition parties.
The configuration of parliament is not yet complete, although it sat on 153 workdays and passed 78 bills.
The parliamentary standing committees, vital institutes in a democracy, are limping with the main opposition Awami League (AL) yet to nominate their deputies to the bodies.
And until now, the House has not nominated a deputy leader.
Serious quorum crisis dogged all the nine sessions of the current parliament and on most days the sittings began well behind schedule, wasting a huge amount of government fund.
As the main opposition boy which about 50 people were killed across the country in 'mysterious circumstances'.
The drive was widely criticised at home and abroad for poor human rights record.
Some other much-talked-about bills passed by current parliament include repeal of the security of the members of Father of the Nation's family act, the display and preservation of the portrait of the Father of the Nation act and the Public Safety Act.
The remarkable new legislation includes two separate bills on speedy trial act and speedy trial tribunal, the Gram Sarkar bill and a set of bills to raise the remuneration of the speaker, deputy speaker, the prime minister, ministers and legislators.
It engaged in only one general discussion on law and order.
The current parliament met on fewer workdays than earlier two parliaments. By the ninth session, the fifth parliament saw 210 workdays and the seventh parliament 188.
But analysts say the most critical phase of the current parliament will emerge soon when the next session is summoned in mid-November.
"It will be time for the AL to decide whether they'll join the House or not," an analyst said.
The past two parliaments -- fifth and seventh -- began their journey with the participation of the main opposition.
Both parliaments saw the boycott of the main opposition parties in the third year of their tenure.
cotted most sittings, the House met on two-thirds of its total workdays without the AL lawmakers.
Legislators of the AL staged 36 walkouts on 51 workdays they attended the Jatiya Sangsad.
The sitting parliament began its journey on October 28, 2001 with the main opposition boycotting the House, rejecting poll results and alleging widespread persecution of its leaders and minority communities in the wake of the October 1 ballot.
The AL joined the House in the third session on June 24, 2002 and maintained the run until the eighth session when a junior minister's remarks against Leader of the Opposition Sheikh Hasina incensed its deputies, who staged a noisy walkout never to return to the next session.
And the AL is yet to make its mind on joining the Jatiya Sangsad.
Yet the current parliament will go down in history for 'creating some rare precedents' including the 'removal of an elected president by a parliamentary party resolution' in June last year.
AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury tendered his resignation from presidency after the parliamentary party of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), the coalition leader, asked him to step down.
It created another precedent by adopting a censure motion against the sitting leader of the opposition for her comment about the late president Ziaur Rahman.
The House also passed the joint forces indemnity bill, indemnifying the army, Bangladesh Rifles and police personnel who manned the anti-crime Operation Clean Heart in
