Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said that when BNP-Jamaat was in power, the people of the country had to live in misery due to their misrule. Today they talked about the rights of working people! But they never increased the wages of the workers while in power. He said these things in a statement sent to the media on Thursday (May 2).
Obaidul Quader said, ‘BNP-Jamaat bad power crushed Bangladesh in the march of bad governance by shooting and killing workers protesting for salary and bonus, killing farmers protesting for fertilizer and killing ordinary people protesting for electricity. They closed various factories including Adamjee Jute Mill and made the life of working people miserable.
On the other hand, Awami League has increased the salary of garment workers and increased the salary of tea workers in several steps after coming to power. The quality of life of all people, including working people, has improved. Bangladesh Awami League is working for the welfare of the people. The main goal of Awami League is to improve the fortunes of farmers, workers and hardworking people.
In the statement, Obaidul Quader condemned and protested the ‘misleading and provocative’ speech of BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
General Secretary of Awami League said, Bangladesh Awami League has always come to power by people’s vote. Awami League is neither a political party established from the pocket of a military dictator nor a political party established by the surplus of power. Bangladesh Awami League has historically led in the establishment of all rights including democratic rights of the people of this country and the political power arising from the people. In continuation of that, Awami League is always working to establish people’s voting rights and other rights.
He said that the 12th National Assembly election held on January 7 was fairer than all the elections held in the country after 1975. Awami League has come to power through elections by ensuring people’s right to vote and is running the state with people’s mandate.
BNP has always taken away the voting rights of the people to ax power, alleged Obaidul Quader, which is why they are afraid of elections and do not want to participate in the elections. Once they deregistered half a million voters to smooth their way to power. Again 1 lakh 23 lakh fake voters were created. Democracy and suffrage do not fit in the mouth of those who adopted various tricks to disenfranchise the people.
He said that the main objective of BNP politics is to seize power by any means. They seized state power and used it illegally to make Bangladesh a dysfunctional state through corruption and looting. Bangladesh’s Lalate was tainted by corruption as champion five times.
