Commenting that it will be difficult to find a complete nation in the twelfth JS, the leader of the opposition party in the Jatiya Sangsad, Golam Mohammad Quader, said that the balance has not been preserved in the current parliament in terms of numbers because this time 75 percent of the parliament is from the government party. Independent 21 parts. They are also almost a government party. 3-4 percent are only opposition party members. Therefore, this parliament will never be able to perform its duties perfectly.

On Tuesday (January 30) on the first day of the 12th JS session, after the election of the new speaker. Chairman of Jatiya Party said these things while thanking Dr. Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury.

GM Quader described his experience as a Member of Parliament since 1996 and expressed hope that Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury would play a neutral role in Parliament.

On the question of the speaker's responsibility, he said that even though they were party loyal speakers, they tried to present impartially. I expect you to maintain impartiality.

Referring to the seat of the government party on the right side of the speaker and the seat of the opposition party on the left side, GM Quader said, "Our intention was that both sides would be equal." One is the government party, the other is the opposition. They will also be close in number. Then there will be an equal fight between them, there will be arguments and quarrels focusing on their own opinions. Parliament will decide in favor of the people. That was the purpose of creating the parliament.

Referring to the results of the 12th JS election, the leader of the opposition party said that the National Parliament is a meeting place for all parties. There is the government party on one side; the opposition party is on the other side. 75 percent of the number of seats after the election belongs to the government party. 21 percent are independent. They are also almost government party. 3-4% are only opposition party members. Here the seat distribution is balanced..However symmetrical the seat distribution is lacking symmetrical. So it cannot be called completely beautiful.

Referring to the national flag of red and green, he said, not only red, not only green. If the government party is called red, then this parliament is completely red. The green is just a splash. It will be difficult to find a complete caste in this parliament. How far the present parliament will be able to represent the nation is a matter of apprehension. Better to say it is the poison of controversy.
