Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Saturday said the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) now wants to cause accidents in politics as the party has the previous records of orchestrating such incidents.
“They [BNP] want to repeat the accidents again and again since they have no other ways to survive in politics,” he told reporters at a press conference held at the Awami League president’s Dhanmondi political office in Dhaka.
The Awami League does not talk nonsense, rather it is the BNP that does, Quader said, terming BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir the “driver of reckless politics.”
On the issue of the BNP’s turnaround through waging movement, the ruling party leader said, “We have no idea where the BNP will turn around. We have heard this before. Which year will they turn around?”
He said, “We have heard their rhetoric to wage movement a lot of times, and BNP leaders are belittling themselves to the people by repeating those. There is no issue for movement…In fact, they are producing rhetoric only to boost the morale of their leaders and activists to get them out of frustration.”
About Myanmar’s internal conflict along the border, Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said now intelligent diplomacy is needed to deal with the matter. The foreign ministry is working as per the instructions of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
