MPs' entitlement
Sir, I have gone through with interest the report on Resigning MPs stilf enjoying perks' and subsequently 'Zillur protests on MPs' perks published on 14th and 15th June, 1995 in your esteemed newspaper. The secretarygeneral of Awami League declared that, "Since the Speaker has not accepted their resignations the telephones, rooms and passports issued to them continue to remain officially in their names. For this situation are the resigning MPs responsible or is not the Speaker and his ruling?"
The opposition members started boycott of the House on March 1, 1994 and con tinue to do so in demand of a caretaker government and resigned en masse from Parliament on December 28 last.
It is very funny that non-acceptance of their resignation failed to induce them to attend the )S and do other duties as MPs, so how could it be responsible for their enjoying the amenities? Could not they boycott all the luxuries^ as they are avoiding their responsibilities?
Mr Suranjit Sengupta when questioned about the usage of his travel pass said that the travel pass was issued before his December 28 resignation and therefore he can use it until its expiry later this month. But to whom the pass was issued? The travel pass was issued to an MP, who was expected to remain so. Is a resigned MP entitled to it?
I leave it to the public to draw a conclusion.

Appalling kidney extraction
Sir, I was taken aback to go through the letter by a female correspondent from Chittagong 20 June describing a pathetic incident of kidney extraction from a minor school girl. I literally shed tears out of emotion on such inhuman and gruesome mur der of a small innocent girl by a couple of thugs for selling her kidneys at a big price!
Of late kidneys are very
much in demand in our society for transplantation. This is of course to save our near and dear ones. But procurement of kidneys must not be such a cruel underhand act.
Law enforcing authorities must nab the culprits immediately and put them behind the bar and ensure that maximum exemplary punishment is awarded to them?
Can the society expect this from our authorities? Or it will die down like many other similar appeals against similar incidents?

Lingering political crisis
Sir, The ruling BNP, and the combined opposition are slicking to their respective points — the BNP is not agreeing to the formation of a care-taker government' during election time with persons who are non-MP's (the constitution being in their favour on this point), while the opposition is not prepared to make any compromise on their demand for a government with non-party, neutral persons', (a point not covered by the constitution).
To force the government to accept their demand, all the opposition MPs resigned but those resignations were not accepted by the speaker on technical grounds. However, on the 19th June, 1995, those MPs were supposed to lose their seats because of continuous absence for 90 sitting days of the parliament'. But things are only getting delayed. However, I think both the government and the opposition can still take advantage of this situation and bring about a dra matic solution.
On the basis of an agreement between the govern ment and the opposition, 10 to 15 non-party, neutral per sons' may be chosen to be allowed as 'elected unopposed during the forthcoming by-election (which is a must after these seats fall Vacant). It will be clearly understood that this group of 10/15 per-
sons will form the interim government during the election which is due soon. Such an arrangement may satisfy both sides, because it will be a care-taker government manned by neutral, non-party men' while at the sometime, they will be all MPs, technically and no amendment to the constitution will be required.

The mosque in Rome
Sir, We heartily congratulate the Italian President Oscar Luigi Scalfaro and the Saudi Arabian Prince Salman Bin Abdul Aziz on the historic inauguration of a mosque in Rome — one of the biggest of Europe.
Most of the developed countries of the world especially the G-7 firmly believe, preach and practise the universal declaration of human rights, freedom and democracy in letter and spirit.
Islam is a religion of peace and justice. It is also a complete code of life. We strongly believe that the Muslim world and the western civilisation have much to do hand in hand for the progress and prosperity of the entire mankind. Undoubtedly the opening of the great mosque in Rome would usher in a new era of understanding and amity among them.
