“Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman first introduced parliamentary democracy in the country aiming to fulfill people’s aspirations,” they said.
The lawmakers were participating in a discussion on the motion brought by Parliament leader and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina under section 147 of the rules of procedure of the Jatiya Sangsad marking its golden jubilee at the Sangsad Bhaban here with Speaker Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury in the chair.
Participating in the discussion, Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Huq said, “Bangabandhu was a real democratic leader and his assassination had jeopardized the people’s expectations”.
The government should enact a law like ‘Holocaust denial act’ to expose the people, who are against the spirit of the liberation war, to justice, he suggested.
Expressing homage to the Father of the Nation, Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq said Bangabandhu had established the dignity of the parliament during his tenure.বিস্তারিত
