Nazim Uddin Ahmed, an Awami League MP from Mymensingh-3, on
Monday came down heavily on bureaucrats saying that people have become hostage
to bureaucracy.
He also called upon all the MPs to raise their voice against
the bureaucrats.
Nazim Uddin made the remarks while participating in a
discussion on the thanksgiving motion on the President's speech in Parliament.
"We’ve long been suffering from bureaucratic problems.
The way bureaucrats speak, it seems MPs don’t have any value to them. We hardly
get any respect when we visit them as members of parliament,” he said.
Nazim said many development projects, including construction
of a hospital, many schools and college buildings, roads and mosques taken in
his constituency have stalled halfway.
He said all the development works are on the way to closure
one after another. Contractors allege that they are not getting their bills and
without money they cannot carry out project works.
“If this is the case, we won't be able to answer to people
during polls as only two years are left for the next general election,” he told
the House.
Referring to the construction of a model mosque in his area,
Nazim said the site for it was selected three years ago. Despite receiving a
verdict from the Supreme Court, construction of the mosque has not started yet
due to bureaucratic complications, he bemoaned.
“When I asked about it, the project director says one thing,
the deputy commissioner says another, and the Islamic Foundation replies in
another way.”
Nazim said an MP is hardly treated with the due dignity that
he or she deserves. Even a messenger of any government department doesn’t
properly evaluate the MPs. “We all have to raise our voice in order to get rid
of this bureaucracy. We’re held hostage to bureaucracy. We all need to be vocal
in order to get rid of this bureaucracy. I tell the members of parliament,
please play a strong role to get rid of this bureaucracy,” he said.
Alleging that propaganda and rumours are being spread
through YouTube, Nazim Uddin demanded the government shutdown YouTube.
“I see on YouTube that Khaleda Zia is dying. Sheikh Hasina
is going to be ousted tomorrow. Again I see the army chief being dragged down.
This is the propaganda we see on YouTube. Where’re these coming from? Confusion
is being spread in this way -- we don’t understand what the Ministry of Information
is doing!” Nazim said.
He urged the Ministry of Information to shut down YouTube,
if necessary. “We shouldn’t compromise with criminals and anti-liberation war
elements,” he added.
