Proposed Budget

AL MPs have nothing but praise

Staff Correspondent
Four ruling Awami League lawmakers yesterday highly lauded the proposed budget for 2012-13 fiscal and expressed wholehearted support to it saying it has nothing to be criticised for.
Two lawmakers from Jatiya Party and Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal, components of AL-led grand alliance, on the other side, partially criticised the proposed budget saying the government could not arrest price hike of essentials.
Amid boycott by the BNP-led opposition in parliament, AL lawmakers thanked the prime minister and the finance
minister for placing a "pro-people and welfare-oriented" budget.
Interestingly, the AL MPs who have recently blasted the state minister for power and energy in parliament for outage across the country even at midnight yesterday remained mum on this issue.
AL lawmaker Enamul Haque from Rajshahi-2 even claimed there was no loadshedding in his constituency.
They also blasted the past BNP-Jamaat-led government for its "misrule and corruption" in the country.
Besides, the AL lawmakers came down heavily on those who criticise the government for its failure in different sectors on television talk shows.
"Prices of daily essentials, especially soya bean oil in my area [Lalmonirhat] is increasing on a regular basis. Even Tk 1,000 was not enough to ensure food items for one meal for my family," Jatiya Party MP Majibar Rahman kicked off discussion on the proposed budget in the House.
He added: "In spite of being an MR I could not manage to meet my expenses. Then one could easily understand the condition of the common people."
Finance Minister AMA Muhith on June 7 placed Tk 1,917.38 billion proposed budget for the forthcoming fiscal, 2012-13.
Taking part in the discussion, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal MP Shah Jikrul Ahmed criticised Muhith for "unfriendly" tax policy.
AL lawmaker Engineer Enamul Haque, however, said the proposed budget has "fulfilled" people's expectations.
"There was nothing in the proposed budget to criticise for," he said lauding the budget. He added there was no load-shedding in his constituency at present.
AL MPs Narayan Chandra Chanda, MA Mannan and AA Maruf Saklaan also took part in yesterday's budget discussion.
