BNP continues movement to bring Hawa Bhaban back: Quader
According to him, Tarique is leading an effort to restore the BNP’s lost power, and the BNP is also still working to restore the Hawa Bhaban. He claimed that despite the BNP’s failure to wage a movement for 13 minutes in 13 years, it is still inciting the populace to overthrow the government.
Minister for Road Transport and Bridges Quader claimed that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s kindness had allowed BNP Chair Khaleda Zia to be released from prison. In the previous 13 years, the BNP was unable to organize even a procession for Begum Zia’s release, but now it is threatening to overthrow the government, he claimed.
He said the BNP leaders are daydreaming of bringing out a victory procession with Khaleda Zia on December 10 next. Addressing BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, the AL general secretary said, “You are saying you all will free Khaleda Zia. She is free. Even, you could not arrange a procession involving her. Do not do politics over Khaleda Zia and do not understand much”. He said the BNP will hear the roar of the sea of people in December, the month of victory.
There will be a game against BNP, which stole votes, created fake voters, and was involved in fraud, looting, corruption and oppressing women, Quader said. Asking the BNP to give up the hope of restoration of the obsolete caretaker government system, he said elections will be held under a neutral Election Commission (EC) in the future. The government will not interfere in any way, he said.
The people did not able to stay at home during the BNP era but now people can live in peace, he said. The AL general secretary said hanging the national flag on a bamboo sticks and taking to the streets will not be allowed. Blaming that the BNP took people in Barishal and Rangpur rallies by paying them money, he said: “You talk about 10 lakh people! But your chairs were empty at the rallies”. AL presidium member and agriculture minister Dr Abdur Razzaque inaugurated the conference by releasing balloons.
