“Please accept my warm felicitations on your assumption of office as Speaker of the Parliament of Bangladesh,” the Indian Speaker said in a message to Dr Shirin Sharmin on Wednesday.
The message reads: “Your appointment to this august office reflects the spirit of empowerment of women in your beautiful country and epitomizes your ethics, values and ideals in supporting causes for the people of Bangladesh, in general, and upholding the rights of women and children, in particular.”
“India attaches the highest importance to its relations with Bangladesh and I would like to reiterate our commitment to follow a partnership leading to mutual benefit,” Meira Kumar said in her message.
She said both India and Bangladesh have constituted Parliamentary Friendship Group to strengthen cooperation between two Parliaments. “I’m confident that, together, we shall be able to strengthen and further bolster the inter-Parliamentary cooperation initiatives.”
She conveyed her best wishes for Shirin’s new assignment as the Speaker of Parliament, for her continued good health and for the progress and prosperity of the friendly people of Bangladesh.
The Lok Sabha or the House of the People is the lower house of Indian Parliament.
Just to impress the Owner of the World, the Western World, we need a female prime ministers, female opposition leaders, now female speaker. Of course these measures may establish equal respect and opportunity for female, Islam’s one of the most important priorities and instructions.
I am not one bit of opposition that Bangladesh has female heads – not a thing wrong with that; to me competency counts – male, female, muslim, christian, hindu, or jewish is not relevant to me. Important to me, are you honest, or you are a thief – that is more important than anything for Bangladesh. Bangladesh is the poorest and notoriously proven the most corrupted country of the earth. Thieves are from top to the bottom in the government, which is what hurts the country more than anything about Bangladesh.
If we find top 100 leaders in the government are not thieves, not corrupted one bit, they might be male or female, from any religion including Jewish faith; I will respect them, love them and help them.
