Nayagarh,(Baghuabarta): Bangladesh Parliament on Saturday declined to consider a weird proposal by an independent lawmaker who suggested a ban on marriages among the working people to address the unemployment issue in the country, drawing criticism from fellow parliamentarians. Lawmaker Rezaul Karim also argued that the children of working couples were often exposed to abuse by housemaids. “Men holding jobs want to marry working women, likewise, women in service want to marry service holders. If the trend continues you can’t resolve the unemployment problem in the country,” Karim said. The proposal created laughter in the House and several of his colleagues ridiculed him. Law minister Anisul Huq called the proposal a manifestation of “freedom of speech”.
