Bangladesh Parliament Speaker Abdul Hamid asks lawmakers to speak decently


Speaker Abdul Hamid on Wednesday reiterated his appeal to the lawmakers of both the Treasury Bench and the opposition to speak in a decent manner in the house to maintain a congenial atmosphere as well as to uphold the parliament's image to the nation.

The speaker, in a ruling, also urged the ruling party

lawmakers not to term Ziaur Rahman a killer while talking about the court verdict on Taher murder case and the opposition lawmakers not to use abusive remarks about the court.

Earlier, while speaking on the thanksgiving motion to the address of the president, Zillur Rahman, ruling party lawmaker Iqbalur Rahim termed Zia a cold-blooded murderer, which created an acute resentment among the opposition lawmakers and prompted the speaker to issue the ruling.

Opposition lawmaker Mahbub Uddin Khakon, while speaking on the court verdict on Taher murder case, also made aggressive remarks about the court and the judges concerned.

The speaker, referring to reports run by two news dailies on the court verdict, said the reports did not termed Zia a murderer but said he was the mastermind.

'You need not to be excited. You should speak in a decent way. The nation is listening to your speeches through television and radio and reading about them in newspapers. So, you should pay attention to preserving your honour, Abdul Hamid told the lawmakers.

He expunged the unparliamentary words from the day's business.
