The ruling Awami League general secretary and road transport and bridges minister, Obaidul Quader, on Monday said that the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party was becoming weak organisationally day by day for adopting ill-strategy avoiding pro-people politics.
‘As a political party, BNP cannot add any new dimension to mass politics. So, BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir is making the same remarks on the media regularly. He is constantly presenting fake and baseless stories of repression and torture,’ he said in a statement.
Quader said that BNP adopted a new ill strategy for concealing their failure in calling any pro-people political programme. The party leaders are making evil efforts to get sympathy by presenting them as repressed and tortured, he said.
‘Because of such evil strategy, BNP is becoming organisationally weak day by day,’ he said.
The AL general secretary said that Awami League remained in power with people’s mandate. Different countries and originations and their leaders congratulated successful statesman Sheikh Hasina for her election as the prime minister for the fifth time and recognised her government, he said.
BNP, which itself is facing the crisis of existence and reached near political bankruptcy, is now talking about the government’s existence, he said.
Noting that BNP is an artificially created political party, the AL general secretary said that BNP always made evil efforts to create artificial political crisis by presenting fake, fabricated and politically motivated remarks.
Quader said that BNP should realise that the government has to work to control anti-state activities, not the opposition party.
So, keeping own party leaders and workers away from anti-state and terrorist activities will be better for BNP, he said.
Quader said that the people’s democratic rights remain protected at the hands of the Awami League. On the other hand, the people don’t forget the misrule, corruption and looting of the BNP government, he said.
During the BNP tenure, the entire country became a safe haven of terrorism and militancy, said Quader.
The people don't want to return to the dark days, the AL general secretary said.
