The entire House supported Raushan Ershad by thumping their desks and Speaker Dr Shirin Sharmin Chauhury allowed her to speak another five minutes after the expiry of her allotted time.
Raushan Ershad, elected from Rangpur-3 constituency, urged both the ruling and opposition parties to shun the politics of vengeance and resolve the national problems through discussion. “We shouldn’t do politics with the past. We should think of the present and future.”
The Jatiya Party leader said political instability will be a disaster for the country. “If we can not resolve the political problems, what shall we say to the people?”
She urged all to work together for creating employment for the youths and control population in the country, saying that the “youths are heading towards the wrong path because of the absence of our guidance.”
Raushan Ershad urged all the MPs not to talk about the dead and respected persons. Don’t hurt those who have already passed away.
Criticizing the recent unhealthy debates in the House, she said Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is the Father of the Nation and he will have to be kept above all debates as he is nobody’s personal property, he is for the nation and the country.”
Raushan Ershad also urged all to stop debate on the proclamation of the independence and said all should sit together to write the real history for the future generation without any distortion.
