My point of view in the photo is indicated on the floor crossing. Which means to resign from one party or to Desert a political party in order to join another. And generally means to cross one member's own party floor to another floor at the time of voting in the house. The term is otherwise called floor crossing.

So, in Bangladesh in the year 1972, our constitution maker incorporated Article 70 which is designed to prevent floor crossing in the parliament. This was an anti-defection or anti-floor crossing law, where his/her (MP) seat will vacate if - (a) resins from that party or

(b) votes in parliament against the party.
