Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader yes-terday said the ongoing quota movement is being instigated by BNP-Jamaat nexus.
A part of the quota protesters are making statements in favor of razakars and it is clear that BNP-Jamaat is provoking the movement against quota system in the government services, he said.
The minister made the remarks while addressing a press briefing at AL president’s office in city’ Dhan-mondi.
Condemning the attack on Chhatra League centering the quota movement, Obaidul Quader said the movements which are being held targeting the country’s independence and the liberation war will be resisted. Steps will be taken on time, he added.
He said attacks were carried out on Chhatra League and general students without any instigation on Monday. About 500 leaders and activists of Chhatra League were injured in the attack, he added.
“We are expressing deep condemnation of the attack. Now they are spreading propaganda in social plat-form using fake pictures of Chhatra League leaders and activists,” he continued.
The AL general secretary said a vested group is behind the quota movement. In the past, BNP was de-pended on the quota movement and carried out arson terrorism, he said.
