Khaleda violates constitution by placing alternative budget: AL

Thursday, 10 June 2010


Ruling Awami League on Wednesday termed the presentation of "alternative budget" by opposition leader Khaleda Zia as violation of the constitution, reports UNB.
"It is opposition's disrespect to and no-confidence in parliament,"
AL general secretary and LGRD Minister Syed Ashraful Islam said at a press conference at the party's Dhanmondi office.
Ashra said in the name of presenting "alternative budget" outside the parliament, Khaleda Zia has resorted to a tactic to make the parliament ineffective. "We know their evil purpose is to make the parliament ineffective."
He, however, reiterated the AL call to Khaleda Zia and her party to join the budget session and place their alternative budget proposals if they have any.
"We don't apprehend the opposition party will not join the session. We hope to see them in the budget session," said the LGRD Minister.
