AL lawmakers verbally abuse Khaleda in JS

State Minister for Home Shamsul Haque Tuku during his thanksgiving motion on the president's speech in parliament yesterday described BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia as “mentally and physically sick”.
He also said it was Khaleda who had repeatedly plotted from Hawa Bhaban, the alternative power centre during the tenure of last BNP-Jamaat government, to assassinate Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, then opposition leader.
Monzur Quader Quraishi, another ruling Awami League lawmaker, made fun of the BNP chairperson's gait. “She had threatened to maim the government but she walks like a cripple now.”
During his speech, some AL lawmakers were seen giving the thumbs up.
Only three days ago, Speaker Abdul Hamid, upset by recurrent use of offensive words in parliament, urged lawmakers to adhere to the code of conduct while addressing the opponents.
“Hurling abusive words at others may at times be lauded by party members but it is not usually accepted by the people,” he said, referring to a recent speech of AL lawmaker Fazilatunnesa Bappy.
Bappy launched a tirade against Khaleda Zia, leader of the opposition in the House, and her two sons, during the thanksgiving motion on the president's speech.
