Dignity?

Honestly speaking, the news of ex-MPs' unity to resist the government move regarding allocation of Nam Bhaban flats made me laugh out loud! How funny ! As the report had it, our "honourable" ex-MPs have taken a firm stance to protect the "dignity and property" of parliament. I have nothing to say if the word 'dignity' were omitted.
Dear ex-MPs, do you really know what dignity means? When you used to make parliament ineffective by boycotting or being absent, did you dignify it? When you used to hurl indecent words on each other in parliament, did you dignify it? How long will you continue to pretend before the whole nation?
