Lawmakers or lawbreakers?


The BTTB revenue department has revealed that 111 MPs of the fourth JS during 1988-1990 did not pay more than Tk 1.1 crore in telephone bills. As many as 315 lawmakers of the fifth and seventh parliaments failed to pay Tk 6.6 crore in telephone bills. Are they lawmakers or lawbreakers?

Even for a small amount of money the BTTB does not hesitate to disconnect telephones of common people, not even caring about serving a prior notice.

Why a different rule for the MPs?
