A nation of lawbreakers


Newspaper reports say 159 lawmakers have been found defaulting on Tk 8.61 crore in outstanding phone bills. If the lawmakers become lawbreakers, the fate of the ordinary people cannot be safe in their hands. Every citizen of this country knows that the MPs belong to the most privileged class. If they violate the rules and regulations of the land, then what is wrong with the uneducated and unprivileged class of mass people following the examples set by the parliamentarians?

Can't our parliament enact a law barring defaulters , of any kind, from seeking election to the JS or any other public office?
