It has come to our attention through your editorial on December 1 and other news items published in other national dailies that the speaker and his deputy have fallen into a power struggle that has tarnished the image of the parliament. While meeting with the PM, Speaker Sircar was straightforward and briefed all about the deputy and his unruly power exercises in the name of the PMO.

Considering the above conflict, Mr. Sircar has requested the PM to keep him away from the post of the Speaker, giving the reason that he has become old and is no more interested to occupy the post of the Speaker of the current parliament.

We think that Mr. Sircar's appeal to the PM is quite alright. Some people like Sircar's deputy and many more have been using the name of PMO and Hawa Bhaban and misleading our democratic and administrative processes since the inception of BNP and its allies in the government. Mr. Sircar does not like to go back to the pavilion like Dr B.

Now it is the prime responsibility of the PM to check all of her staff, advisors and official and personal aides as well as Hawa Bhaban as another alternative power structure already grown and demonstrated its hold.

Would the PM take care of the above issue at her earliest convenience?
