BNP MP Rumeen seeks land from a govt that she calls 'illegal'

Barrister Rumeen Farhana, a BNP MP from reserved seat, has sought allocation of a 10-katha land from the Housing and Public Works Ministry though she had long been branding the current government and parliament as illegal, reports UNB.

Rumeen, BNP assistant international affairs secretary and daughter of Language Movement hero Oli Ahad, applied for the plot on August 3, less than two months after she was sworn in.

On June 9, she took oath as a member of the 11th Parliament from one of the seats reserved for women. Joining the House on the first day, she described the government and parliament as illegal.

According to the application which has gone viral on Facebook, she informed the Housing Minister that she needs a 10-katha plot in Purbachal residential area in Dhaka.

Seeking the minister's kind attention to her case, the BNP MP also said she has neither a piece of land, flat in Dhaka nor any other business and profession rather than advocacy.
