Stay alert against repeat of last 2yrs

Speaker also urges all MPs to act responsibly as BNP rejoins House after 17 workdays

Staff Correspondent
Speaker Abdul Hamid yesterday urged both the treasury and opposition bench lawmakers to act in such a way that "none can assume power in an undemocratic way in future".
He also urged them to remain alert against a return to the unwarranted situation that prevailed for the last two years.
t he speaker made the call in response to the opposition chief whip's speech in which he defended their House boycott for 17 workdays over seating arrangement row. and made some allegations against
the government and also the chair.
l\vo years have lapsed in our political history. All of us have been victimised more or less. So. we will have to think afresh and move forward," Hamid said referring to the nearly two-year tenure of the caretaker government led by Fakhruddin Ahmed.
The speaker welcomed the BNP-led opposition lawmakers' return to parliament yesterday and assured them of running it fairly.
The treasury bench lawmakers also welcomed the opposition legislators to the House, which witnessed a lively atmosphere yesterday. Witty comments of the
speakercontributed to this atmosphere.
Taking the floor, Opposition Chief Whip Zainul Abdin Farroque explained the reasons for their absence from the House so long.
He assured the speaker of extending their cooperation to make the House effective.
In his over 10-minute speech, Farroque blamed the government for shortage of power, unrest at universities, withdrawal of special security for Leader of the Opposition Khaleda Zia and restriction orrvisitors to her residence.
The opposition chief whip described the December 29 parliamentary election as a questionable poll, and late president Ziaur Rahman as proclaimer of the country's independence. Treasury bench members protested at his remarks by shouting and thumping their desks, but Hamid allowed him to continue speaking.
Farroque alleged that Hamid did not give floor to opposition lawmakers to congratulate him on his being elected speaker on January 25.
But Hamid said he had repeatedly looked around to see if any senior opposition lawmakers sought the floor. "But I could not find any."
Another allegation made against the speaker was that he had not included any opposition lawmaker in the panel of chairmen to preside over House sittings in the absence of the speaker and deputy speaker.
Hamid said he did not do this intentionally. "It was a mistake and I admitted it.”
Whip ASM firoz and some other AL laWmakefs' sought the floor following the opposition chief whip's speech, but the speaker did not allow them to speak.
Taking the floor, Chief Whip of the House Abdus Shahid denied the opposition chief whip's allegations. “His statement is not based on facts. It is completely false,” Shahid said.
