Lies and propaganda have become the only political tools of BNP, A.League General Secretary and Minister of Road Transport and Bridges Obaidul Quader said, BNP has been rejected by the people again and again because their lies and propaganda have been exposed in front of the people.
In a statement on Thursday (July 4), he said, they are also lying about Khaleda Zia’s physical condition. Khaleda Zia returned home after treatment. The release of BNP leader Khaleda Zia is not a political issue. It is a legal matter. BNP is trying to make the matter a political issue without dealing with the legal process.
General Secretary of Awami League said that BNP has been campaigning for Khaleda Zia’s release for the past few years. But there is no involvement of people in that movement. BNP is trying to make a non-political issue a political issue without prioritizing the issue related to the interest of the people. And whenever BNP enters the field with its so-called agitation, it activates its terrorist and cadre forces.
Referring to BNP’s attempts to shelter terrorists and cadres in the name of movement, he said that if legal action is taken against all these terrorists, BNP leaders spread confusion through lies and propaganda.
In the statement, Obaidul Quader condemned and protested the false and politically motivated statement of BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
Obaidul Quader said, Awami League never came to power in an unconstitutional and undemocratic way. Awami League has always come to power with the mandate of the people in the democratic process. Awami League formed the government under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina through the 12th National Parliament elections on January 7.
Pointing out that BNP and its allies have always been active in obstructing the democratic and constitutional process of the country, he said that this is the born political legacy of BNP. Because a party established by a military dictatorship that has seized state power in illegal and unconstitutional ways can never respect democratic values.
He said, if BNP had been able to agitate in the democratic process or if they could have increased public participation in their agitation, then they would have shown honest courage to participate in the elections. Due to lack of that, BNP has always chosen the path of terror and violence.
The bridge minister also said that the law and order forces will take strict action against those who will try to incite terrorism and violence to disrupt the democratic process.
BNP could never become a democratic political party and their position is always opposite to democratic values, Obaidul Quader said, because BNP and their allies do not change their ideological position, it is difficult to solve the crisis in our democratic politics.
He urged all those who believed in the ideals and democratic spirit of the Great Liberation War to stand united under the leadership of Bangabandhu’s daughter Sheikh Hasina to face this crisis.
