PM calls her govt multi-party

Slams Khaleda for boycotting polls; 4th session of parliament ends

Staff Correspondent
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said her "multi-party" government was elected following due democratic process in the January 5 elections and the opposition in parliament has taken the "right democratic and institutional shape".
Hasina, also the Leader of the House, made these remarks in her valedictory speech at the 4th session of the 10th parliament yesterday.
Recalling the BNP's role in last parliament, she said the BNP used abusive words and demonstrated indecent behaviour at the House.
Thanking the opposition leaders for participating in the January 5 polls and discharging the duties of a "real opposition party", Hasina said it was the job of die opposition to point out the mistakes of the government and the opposition had been doing it.
Referring BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's allegation that the country was under one-party rule, the Awami League chief said, "If the country was run by a one-party government, how are you [the BNP chief] addressing rallies?"
She said, "You [Khaleda] made a mistake boycotting the polls and why the people would pay for your mistake?"
Hasina alleged that by boycotting the January 5 elections, Khaleda wanted to make the situation into something like that ofThailand.
Leader of the Opposition Raushan Ershad praised Hasina for her taking the country towards prosperity.
"The country has moved forward for quite a long time as you [Hasina] have the quality," she said in her winding up speech.
Raushan, also a Jatiya Party presidium member, stressed the need for decentralisation of the administration to save Dhaka.
She said employment and investment were necessary for development of the country and it required infra-structure, electricity supply and good governance.
“But due to bureaucratic tangles, many of them failed. We have to look into this matter. You [Hasina] will have to give special importance ...," Raushan added.
She also spoke of massive food adulteration and sought government’s initiative to save people from the hands of unscrupulous traders involved.
The House session was prorogued. TWO BILLS PLACED
Before the session ended, two bills, "Speedy supply of power and energy (special provision) (Amendment) Act-2014" and "Metro Rail Bill 2014", were placed in parliament yesterday.
The metro rail bill is about fast and improved public transport in the capital.
Once passed, it would provide a legal framework for the overall activities of the proposed Metro Rail Project, including its operations, control and regulations.
The bill, placed by Road Transport and Bridge Minister Obaidul Quader, was sent to the parliamentary standing committee on the ministry for scrutiny. The committee was asked to report to parliament within four weeks.
"The government has taken the initiative to build mass rapid transit for easing traffic jam and rendering fast and improved mass transport services in Dhaka. That's why a specific law is needed for construction, operation and maintenance of the country's first metro rail," the bill says in its objective.
State Minister for Power and Energy Nasrul Hamid Bipu placed the power bill in the House.
The bill seeks extension of certain provisions of the Speedy Supply of Power and Energy (Special Provision) Act-2010. It was sent to the standing committee on the respective ministry for scrutiny.
