Awami League General
Secretary Obaidul Quader today said their party, along with the people, will
give a befitting reply to BNP if it tries to create unrest in the country by
resorting to violence.
"BNP's series
meetings are nothing but part of series conspiracy. If the BNP again makes
their evil attempts to lunch sabotage and arson attacks to thwart the country's
ongoing progress, Awami League, along with the people, will give a befitting
reply to them," he said.
Quader, also the road
transport and bridges minister, was addressing as the chief guest a discussion
arranged by the AL's relief and social welfare sub-committee marking the
birthday of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at the party's Bangabandhu Avenue
central office here.
AL Presidium Member Begum
Matia Chowdhury chaired the discussion while Presidium Member Abdur Rahman,
Joint General Secretaries Mahbubul-Alam Hanif and AFM Bahauddin Nasim and
Organizing Secretary BM Mozammel Haque addressed it, among others.
AL sub-committee member
secretary and AL Relief and Social Welfare Secretary Sujit Roy Nandi moderated
the discussion.
About BNP Secretary
General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir's comment that there is no achievement in
Prime Minister's ongoing foreign visit, Quader said: "Mr. Fakhrul, you
have no information. You didn't read the New York Times newspaper. Prime
Minister's all speeches, including her speech at the United Nations General
Assembly, have been lauded by the world leaders."
Quader said in her speech
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina called for eliminating "vaccines
divides" between the rich and the poor to ensure vaccine for all.
"Mr. Fakhrul, haven't you heard the news? Didn't you read the New York
Times?" he added.
The reports suggest that
if a nation wants to eliminate poverty, it should follow Bangladesh and witness
the development carried out by Sheikh Hasina's government, he mentioned.
"Developed countries
did nothing for us for the repatriation of the Rohingya. Prime Minister Sheikh
Hasina also boldly raised the issue. Because of Prime Minister's contribution,
Bangladesh stepped up one stair at the UN," he said.
On the other hand, BNP slipped one step down due to their evil
acts, he said.
Quader said as Sheikh Hasina returned home in 1981 after long exile, the trials of Bangabandhu's assassination and war criminals were held.
