Parliament violence
The only possible way to stop 'parliament violence', as it may be termed, is by passing a law against the unnecessary discussion on Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and late president Ziaur Rahman in parliament. We have so many problems that crumble our every day life that we can spend hours over a cup of tea discussing them. So when our 'honourable' members take part in parliament proceedings, if they spend five minutes over all these problems, such as, over population, road accident, corruption, student politics and so one, I bet they will momentarily forget about who was 'Feraun' and who was the 'killer'.
To put it in the simplest way, 'Mind your own business, and do that properly!'

Vulgarity is totally prohibited in Islam. One day a disciple of Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) came to him and criticized the pagans and belittled their statues in front of many other disciples. The Prophet (Pbuh) then stopped the disciple and told him, “ If you rebuke their Gods, they will rebuke your Allah.” The Hadith has come out in the Sahih Al Bukhari.

The recent conduct of our lawmakers in the JS has shocked the nation, even though at the back of our minds we could all see it coming. The behaviour of the 'Honourable' MPs raises the all-important question: are the people occupying the seats in parliament really deserve to be where they are? The people entrusted with the responsibility of giving us a brighter future have gone to a level of mudslinging that would put derailed teenagers to shame. The uncivilized behaviour makes us wonder as to which direction we are heading.
At a time when people have very little to be happy about, the lawmakers from both sides have presented another reason to cause despair among the masses. When will they realize that their actions are making the very leaders they fight about turn in their graves? Do they not understand that the whole world is watching them? It really hurts to see what our MPs have turned the JS into.
I fervently hope that the Honourable Speaker succeeds in bringing sanity in all future JS sessions. It has been more than 38 years since Liberation and I believe it is about time our politicians at least try to push the country in the right direction.
