1 /11 a lesson to all

Says Speaker Hamid

UNB, London
Speaker Advocate Abdul Hamid has said there are some bad aspects of the 1/11 political changeover but it has left two lessons, including one that none can escape committing corruption, accord ing to a report received here yesterday.
Talking to journalists from Bengali news media at Montefiori Centre in East London, he said the second lesson is that people's misery aggravates without a people's government in power. And the bad aspect is that it was an undemocratic government.
1 lamid, here in connection with a Non Resident Bangladeshi (NRB) Conference, said politicians must change the mindset, stop wastage of money and avoid unnecessary’ spending of money in the name of ‘Honda procession.'
"One needs to change one's mindset to establish digital Bangladesh." he said
adding that corruption must be uprooted and population boom controlled to steer the country’forward
The speaker told his audience that he is trying to run parliament neutrally as guarding of the parliament but deplored opposition BNP's absence from the proceedings.
He said sitting arrangement for BNP in the House Is not an issue that stopped them from joining parliament.
"They have their internal disputes over who will sit where," he observed.
The speaker said Bangladesh belongs to all and everybody living at home and abroad should contnbute to the advancement of the country
Hamid praised the role of the Bangladesh media in informing the people about what is happening inside parliament.
He said necessary facilities. including a media centre, were provided to journal-
ists for covering the parliamentary proceedings and standing-committee meetings.
In the past, the speaker said, journalists were restricted when the parlia ment was not in session, but now journalists have got free movement to collect the news of parliamentary standing committees.
About inclusion of expatriate Bangladeshis in voter list, Hamid said it is the government commitment and hoped that the eligible expatriate Bangladeshis would be on the voter list before the next general election.
"If the government fails to do it. they will lose the confidence of the expatriates," he noted.
The speaker led a four-member parliamentary delegation to the NRB conference.
The other members are Sanjida Khanum, Atiur Rahman, Afzal Hossain and Mujibul HuqChunnu.
