AL will support bill for true parliamentary system
Sheikh Hasina Friday said Awami League will support the Constitution amendment bill which will ensure a parliamentary system in true sense of the term reflecting democratic aspiration of the deprived masses, reports UNB.
"We stand for unalloyed parliamentary democracy for economic emancipation of the tolling masses... We won't accept autocracy in the name of parliamentary democracy." the Awami League president and opposition leader in parliament said
Hasina's remarks on the Constitution amendment bills on form of-^government came while addressing a big rally of the Adamjee Jute Mills workers in front of the Bangabandhu Bhaban yesterday afternoon.
She said Awami League introduced a clear constitutional amendment bill in the House for switchover to a genuine parliamentary system in conformity with the spirit of the November 19 joint declaration of the three alliances.
But ruling BNP’s bill, she said, contained many anomalies and lapses that might lead to parliamentary autocracy "We have asked to bring the bill in the House with amendments for restoring parliamentary system in true sense of the term... Only then we will give our support”
"I ve repeatedly said we don't want a neo-autocracy in lieu of another, we don’t want a new junta instead of another. We want people's rule and people's sovereignty". Hasina added.
The Awami League president said her party would now begin its next phase of movement for economic freedom of the deprived toiling masses.
"We will now launch movement inside and outside parliament to ensure people's economic emancipation -after the long-drawn struggle against autocracy," she told a slogan-shouting rally of the workers.
The rally was organised marking the Adamjee Jute Mills CBA president Rehanuddin Rehan's Joining the AL along with 10.000 workers of the Mills.
- Criticising the BNP government, Hasina said people had great expectations from the present government after the ouster of the autocratic regime. They hoped this government would bring about a change In their socio-economic life.
But unfortunately the ruling' BNP is nakedly pursuing the same old anti-people policies of the autocratic regime to the utter dismay of the common man. said Hasina.
"After climbing the throne of power, they (BNP) have now become oblivious of their commitment to restore people's democratic and economic rights.”
The Awami League president criticised the imposition of new taxes and the VAT system and said the new budget had further increased hard-ships of the poor and limited Income groups.
In this context, she recalled that the Bangabandhu's government had prepared its budget without any new taxation in the war-torn post-independence Bangladesh considering the plight of the poor peasants and workers.
Amidst repeated slogans. Hasina called for implementation of the five-point demand of the SKOP, the Wages Commission for industrial workers, fixation of minimum wage at Taka 1400 and the reasonable demand for National Pay Commission.
She also called for setting up new industries, reopening of closed mills and factories, and reinstating the sacked workers.
Adamjee Jute Mills CBA sources said its president Rehanuddin Rehan along with 22 other leaders of the CBA.— Adamjee Patkal Sramik Union — and 10,000 workers joined the Awami League expressing their confidence in the leadership of Sheikh Hasina for completing the unfinished task of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Rehan presented a basketful of red flowers to a smiling Hasina on the occasion. ’
The rally was also addressed by Awami League leaders Abdus Samad Azad, Begum Sajeda Chowdhury, Amir Hossain Amu and Adamjee Jute Mills CBA president Rehanuddin Rehan.
