Role of MPs
I would like to convey my gratitude to Md. Anwarul Kabir for his recently published article, entitled "Role of MPs in light of constitution". In this scholarly write-up, Mr. Kabir has rightly pointed out the constitutional role of our MPs. Unfortunately, in our country, deviated from the constitutionally defined role, the MPs are very eager to involve themselves in local development work. Mr. Kabir has revealed that the major motivation on their part to be MPs is to be millionaire within a short span of time by indulging in corruption and the local development works give them such opportunity. This culture must be changed. The Honourable Prime Minister has called for changes in her electoral pledge. We want to trust our leader. So, for the better future of the country, we would like to urge the prime minister to empower the local government, especially the upazilas and let them carry out all development works. MPs must concentrate on the issues of state policy making which is their prime obligation. This, in turn, will reduce corruption at the state level, we believe.
