MP walks out of JS on Rohingya issue
Independent lawmaker Fazlul Azim yesterday walked out of parliament after the deputy speaker refused to let him speak on the Rohingya issue.
The lone opposition MP in the House, in absence of the main opposition BNP, demanded that Deputy Speaker Col (retd) Shawkat Ali allows him to raise a point of order.
When Azim started talking on the issue, the deputy speaker said, “You must submit a notice if you want to discuss on this issue.”
“This is not the way to run the parliament session,” said Azim before walking out.
Many Myanmar citizens are fleeing towards Bangladesh following sectarian clashes in the neighbouring country.
