BNP sees fresh complication

Staff Correspondent
BNP fears fresh complication over rearrangement of seats of lawmakers at the Jatiya Sangs ad as the speaker yesterday said he will reorganise the scats.
BNP lawmaker Salauddin Quader Chowdhury said if the treasury bench brings changes to the seating arrangement, they would have no other option but to boycott the parliament session.
Joynal Abedin Faruq, opposition chief whip, told The Daily Star that the treasury bench is yet to inform him about any rear rangement of seats in the House.
"Seating plan in the House would be redone following discussion with the opposition," Speaker Abdul H^nid yesterday said. Sources said the speaker may talk to leaders of the treasury and the opposition bench today. Speaker Hamid said the arrangement made by former speaker Jamiruddin Sircar was not correct.
Disagreement developed between the opposition and the ruling party over seating arrangement before the ninth parliament went into its first session.
The opposition party had vowed that they would skip the inaugural session if the seating arrangement issue was not solved properly.
The treasury bench earlier allocated three seats for the opposition in the front row based on the number of their lawmakers. However, former speaker Jamiruddin Sircar allocated 10 seats in the front row for the opposition overruling the ruling party chief whip's decision. Sircar also gave 12 seats of the second row to the opposition bench.
The treasury bench was annoyed at this.
Sircar had said the new speaker may rearrange the
seats if he wanted.
Sircar on Saturday said Chief Whip Abdus Shahid made mistakes in making the seating plan which he corrected as he was empowered by the rules of procedures (article 7) of the House.
Shahid on that day expressed dissatisfaction saying Sircar, by acting unilaterally, showed disrespect to the treasury bench and the leader of the House.
Among the BNP lawmakers, Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury and MK Anwar sat next to opposition leader Khaleda Zia in the inaugural session of the ninth parliament.
BNP's Shah Mofazzal Hossain Kaikobad, Mujibur Rahman Sarwar, Joynal Abedin, Mosharraf Hossain and LDP chief Oli Ahmed were also seated on the first row.
ORIENTATION FOR BNP LAWMAKERS
An orientation programme of BNP’s new lawmakers was
held at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban yesterday. BNP senior MPs Salauddin Quader Chowdhury and MK .Anwar instructed their colleagues about the opposition's strategies and stances on the ongoing parliament session.
"The two senior leaders of the party taught us different strategies and how to raise 'point of order' and how to face the treasury bench in line with the law," said a new lawmaker.
They also discussed several bills which would be placed before the parliament in the coming days.
"We will oppose at least 20 bills including Emergency Power Rules, Representation of the People Order, finance ordinance and anticorruption ordinance," said Salauddin Quader Chowdhury while talking to The Daily Star at his office.
"We have taught them how to oppose the treasury bench lawmakers in line with the rules of the business," he said.
