A member of Parliament has been infected with Coronavirus. Several law enforcement officers have been attacked in Corona, with lawmakers on high alert, as well as among lawmakers who have participated in relief efforts in various parts of the country, and many lawmakers fled their homes following the attack. They have begun to take extra precautions to keep their relatives, including their wives and children, safe. Some are even being prevented by family members. This information was obtained by speaking to various members of parliament.
Even a week ago, there was an uproar in the distribution of rice relief and harvesting machines in the parliamentary constituencies. But in the last two or three years, the situation has changed. Most of the ministers and parliamentarians are now at their home in Dhaka. Those in the area have not been out in the past two days.
Some MPs said family members were already under pressure to leave the house due to Corona’s situation. Now that a member of Parliament has been attacked, the pressure has increased. However, regardless of stress or anxiety, there is no opportunity to be home during this disaster as a representative of the people. They have to be next to the people.
Incidentally, the crown of the wife of Naogaon-2 MP Shahiduzzaman Sarkar and Rajbari-1 MP Kazi Keramat Ali have been identified as positive. However, Kazi’s wife Keramat Ali has already recovered and returned home. On the other hand, Shahiduzzaman Sarkar is isolated in the house of the Member of Parliament in the Jatiya Sangsad area. Israfil Alam, deputy from Naogaon-6 constituency and Chhalim Uddin Tarafdar from Naogaon-3 constituency arrived at Domestic Quarantine after coming into contact with the Shahiduzzaman government. Meanwhile, three police officers and an Ansar member in charge of security in the Parliament building area have already tested positive. For this reason, more than 50 police officers have been quarantined. These police officers were responsible for the security of the houses and roads of the speakers, vice presidents, and other VIPs within the parliament building.
As part of Corona’s warning, Awami League President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has already instructed top party leaders, sick and elderly parliamentarians not to leave their homes. He mentioned the directive more than once in a video conference with district administration. Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, the party’s secretary general and the minister of road transport, Obaidul Quader, he stays at home all the time.
When asked about this, Asim Kumar Ukil, cultural secretary of the Awami League and member of Parliament for the Netrokona-3 constituency, said: “There are concerns.” There is a little panic after a member of Parliament is attacked, it is normal. I have been alongside people in various ways, including relief activities in the area immediately after the Corona situation. If we fold our hands and sit at home in a panic, we will be deprived of public services. But from the beginning I am trying to follow the government’s health rules. I am more cautious after being attacked by MPs.
When asked if the relatives had any pressure to leave, he said: “You know that my wife is also involved in politics.” As a result, the pressure does not come from him. However, there is some pressure from others, including children. And I think this kind of pressure should be more or less for everyone.
Tangail-6 MP Ahsanul Islam (Titu) said there is no way to deny that the crown is a global epidemic. There is no possibility of showing too much anger against that. I will not work in the constituency. I am doing another job digitally. If the work is beautiful without me, what is the need to go? We are not the executive here. Members of Parliament act as advisers in other activities, including relief distribution. As such, I am doing all the work to be done.
Abdus Shahid of the Moulvibazar-4 constituency said that fear of coronavirus infection is more or less present in all. You can infect us at any time. I am working with it. I am working with others that I cannot go alone. Go where you need to go.
In response to a question, he said that family members should have some concerns. They are a little discouraged to go out. However, the last thing is that everyone has to die one day or another. So what can be found in fear?
Shahiduzzaman Sarkar, a parliamentarian from the Naogaon-2 constituency, told the Bengali Tribune that he was isolated at his home. Following the doctor’s advice. However, it has participated in various activities, including the distribution of aid in the area. There is concern for them. Taking recipes regularly and continuing like him. “Even before this, the wife of one of our MPs contracted coronavirus and recovered,” Swapan said. He also commented that it is very difficult to separate from family members in the same house.
When asked about this, MP Whip and Joypurhat-2 MP Abu Saeed Al Mahmood Swapan told the Bengali Tribune: “As MPs, we have no chance of being afraid.” Corona is a global problem. Anyone can be infected with a crown. When asked if there was any concern among other parliamentarians, he said: “If a colleague is attacked, he will be there.” But that doesn’t mean you have to sit at home. You have to work with caution. We have to be careful.
In response to a question, Awami League organizing secretary Swapan said: “We are already on the alert.” We have taken every possible measure for the security of the parliamentary constituency even before the crown was identified in the country.
Regarding the attacked policeman, he said that those who were attacked, as well as the policemen who were in contact with them, were sent to quarantine. The tests have been organized by collecting your samples.
