MPs

Dr M A Obaydullah, Postdoctoral Fellow, Australia
You use the word 'lawmaker' for an MP (Member of Parliament), and most of the Bangla print and electronic media use the Bangla word 'Saangsad' for an MP. The use of the word 'lawmaker' for an MP is not correct because it seems many MPs do not know what it means to be a parliamentarian. This is true not only in case of Bangladesh but also about many other parliaments across the world.
