Quite unexpected!

The news entitled "10 minutes shock at JS" published in The Daily Star (04th March 2010) is not only shocking for the people of the country but also it has thrown the nation into deep, dark shadows of shame. Lawmakers of both the ruling party and the opposition rushed towards each other gesturing aggressively. They exchanged extremely indecent and vulgar words on the floor, most of which are 'unprintable'. We are really astounded at such 'unparliamentary' behaviour of our parliament members. The national assembly is not a place for cock-fight and emitting filthy jargons and to create a mayhem-like ambience, rather it is a place for taking and making decisions and plans to run the country and to build up the nation. Obviously, JS is supposed to play a representative role and it is likely to reflect the dreams and hopes of the nation. But what happened during the parliamentary sessions seriously hurt the image of the nation. It is really shocking that our honourable lawmakers would go beyond 'the line of control' regarding language and attitude forwards fellow men.
