Digital parliament
All laws are framed in parliament. Laws are passed in parliament by voice vote. Simply by hearing the sound coming from the floor the Ho'nable Speaker declares three times that ha/na joijukta hoyachey. That means sound is the ultimate medium or indicator for passing a law in parliament. In a turbulent or a noisy situation in parliament, a common scene, it is difficult to hear the sound correctly creating confusion in making decisions. In this day of modern digital world, an old system based on hearing sound for taking a vital decision for passing law is not tenable.
It is therefore necessary to bring the activities of parliament under digital system which will also create an example for others to follow for making digital Bangladesh.
