Awami League presidium member and chairman of parliamentary standing committee on information ministry Obaidul Quader has criticised the opposition BNP lawmakers as they are not attending the parliament sessions despite enjoying all facilities.
'You are elected by voters, enjoying all facilities including foreign visits as members of the parliament but not attending the sessions,' he said speaking at a dialogue on the upcoming budget at Public Library Auditorium in Dhaka on Friday.
Dialogue Aid Foundation, a non-government organisation, arranged the discussion on the role of the government in formulating a pro-people budget.
Chairman of parliamentary standing committee on land ministry AKM Mozammel Huq, former information secretary Syed Margub Morshed and vice-chancellor of Gazipur Agricultural University Abdul Mannan Akand, among others, spoke at the function.
Obaidul Quader said the BNP had become busy with the caretaker government issue two and a half years ahead ignoring the people's agenda at the moment.
Referring to the price hike of oil and gas, the AL leader said the present mayhem in the transport sector would have not been created if there was a coordinated decision in this regard earlier.
