Mock parliamentary debate contest begins in city
A parliamentary debate competition for university level students, aiming to shed light on different issues of the forthcoming national election, started at Bashundhara city in the capital yesterday.
In the first mock parliament, Dhaka Medical College and Ahsanullah Science and Technology University students debated on the caretaker government issue as the ruling party and opposition party respectively.
Abdus Shahid, chief whip of the parliament, and Joynul Abdin Farroque, the opposition chief whip, inaugurated the contest titled "Student Parliament", said a press release.
In the inaugural ceremony, the chief whip said the Election Commission could make the 10th national election transparent because several free and fair elections had taken place under it.
The opposition chief whip however laid stress on the caretaker government system, saying the BNP would not run in the election under a partisan government, and if it did not, the election would not be accepted.
