Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said that BNP will have to flee if they start terror again in the name of movement, saying that we will deal with them if they take to the streets with preparations for arson.
He said this at a press conference at the Awami League president’s political office in Dhanmondi, capital, on Monday (May 13).
Obaidul Quader said that there is no record of running away in the history of Awami League. In 2007, their acting chairman, Tariq Rahman, fled abroad with a pledge that he would not do politics again. Their main leader is on the run.
He said that the BNP leaders had said on October 28 that Awami League would not find an escape route. But in the end I saw that one by one in Paltan Maidan, it was BNP. Why do we run away? Our strength is the people of the country.
In response to a question, the general secretary of Awami League said that they will protest and sit with their partners. We have no say there. If they want to advance politically, I will deal with it politically.
In response to another question, he said, Awami League is not needed to wipe out BNP. Enough of their negative politics. They will have to pay the price for the great mistake BNP made by not coming to the election.
Obaidul Quader said in response to a question about US Assistant Secretary of State Donald Lu’s visit to Bangladesh, to further the relationship between the two countries. We will see the implementation of what US President Joe Biden says in the letter sent to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The bridge minister said, I am not thinking about who is coming here. Israel does not listen to their president. We who are elected by the people who are we afraid of the government?
He said, there is no situation where someone from outside will support and strengthen BNP. The power of those who would show power is shrinking in the Middle East. There is no reason to think that would expand here.
Awami League general secretary said in response to the question of journalists whether there is a 14-party alliance or not, there is a 14-party alliance. The leader of the alliance, Sheikh Hasina herself, has said that the alliance exists and will sit for talks at the appropriate time.
Awami League general secretary said about the candidacy of relatives of MP-ministers in the upazila elections, they must be punished if they disobey the party instructions. In the twelfth national election, 73 MPs were not nominated, 25 were left out of the cabinet – the punishment could come in many ways.
Central leaders including Awami League joint general secretary AFM Bahauddin Nashim, organizing secretary Mozammel Haque, SM Kamal Hossain, Mirza Azam, Afzal Hossain were present in the press conference.
