Dhaka, Jun 27 (UNB) – Jatiya Party lawmaker Anisul Islam Mahmud (Chattogram-5) on Thursday demanded the ruling from the Speaker over the remarks of two BNP MPs who termed the present parliament illegal.
“Standing in this parliament, no MP can term this (11th) parliament illegal. I seek the ruling from you (Speaker) over this issue. It’ll have to deliver the ruling as to why they (BNP MPs) term this parliament illegal,” he said.
Anisul Islam Mahmud placed the demand participating in the general discussion on the proposed national budget for 2019-20 fiscal year in the House.
Mentioning names of BNP MPs Md. Harunur Rashid and Rumeen Farhana, the Jatiya Party leader said, “Two MPs called this parliament illegal standing in the House and they also said none of us are elected. If they think this parliament is illegal, then why did they join it?”
