Oath-taking for 10th JS

WE are at a loss to understand why the ruling AL has gone ahead with swearing-in of the MPs for the just elected 10th JS, when the ninth parliament is still in existence. This amounts to having two MPs from each constituency at the same time. Clearly, this violates the spirit of the Article 123 (3) (b) of the Constitution.
Again, Article 148 (3) of the Constitution says that after oath-taking the new MPS will automatically take charge.
Ridiculous though, we have now 638 sitting MPs at the same time, thanks to the inexplicable hurry of the ruling AL to be at the driving seat of power.
It baffles us why the government has chosen to tread this controversial route, instead of going for the legal path of dissolving the 9th JS and then inducting the new MPs.
We would like to reiterate what we have already pointed out more than once in our editorial comments that the 10th JS was flawed as it had some 153 MPs-elect who had not been elected by their constituents. Moreover, the election held on January 5 for the truncated parliament of 147 seats was itself stymied by unprecedented violence and record low voter turn-out.  
Even if this parliament is accepted as a constitutional necessity, it should not override the implicit priority of holding the election to the 11th Parliament. We expect, the government would soon start a dialogue with major political stakeholders, especially BNP, to set the course for holding a widely participated, inclusive and credible election for the 11th JS.
