Dhaka, May 31 (UNB)- Parliament goes into budget session Wednesday afternoon with the prospect slim of BNP joining as its demands are yet to fulfill.

The Finance Minister will place the national budget for 2010-2011 fiscal on June 10. It will be the second budget of Awami League led grand alliance government since it came to power.

Opposition chief whip Zainul Abdin Farooque told UNB today that they are willing to return to parliament if the government is sincere in meeting their demands. The demands include withdrawal of ‘false cases’ against BNP chief and other leaders, stopping indecent remarks against late President Ziaur Rahman and his family.

BNP had staged a walk out of the House on April 4, a day before the last session was prorogued opposing the passage of the bill raising remuneration and allowances of MPs.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had sharply reacted saying BNP members do not need remuneration and allowances as they had piled up wealth looting thousands of crores of taka during their rule.

Wounded by the sweeping remarks, BNP lawmakers say they need to think about returning to the House following the Prime Minister’s aspersion and malicious observation that cut them deeply.

Farooque said they want to return to the House and speak both inside and outside parliament on public issues. “We hope the government will consider our demands.”

He said the government is not paying any attention to their demands. So, the party chairperson and leader of the opposition is thinking anew about joining the budget session.
