Give them helicopters!
It was interesting to see many eager ladies queuing up for applying to get nomination to become women MPs. While they had come to give interviews in support of their candidature all were talking to give away their lives for the betterment of the people particularly women in their constituencies. It was amazing to see so many women of our country so eager to change our lives paying Tk 340,000 each (as quoted by one of the candidates). We should be proud of these ladies who are ready to pay to serve the country.
Then came the announcement of candidates' names the deserving were rewarded.
But their voice changed. Now they wanted tax-free cars to be given to them. How can they visit their constituencies if they don't have any vehicles? I have a suggestion here. The government should allow these would be selfless women MPs to import Tax Free Helicopters. This will enable them to reach remote places in their constituencies to offer their service.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. I earnestly request to government to consider this proposal and suggest that the would be women MPs actively pursue this issue.
