BSS :
Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Wednesday said although the BNP is champion in snatching the rights of people, it is now raising voice about human rights.
“There is no similarity between the words and works of BNP leaders. They talk about public opinion but they do not have the courage to test public opinion – they fear joining elections,” he said in a statement.
Quader, also the Road Transport and Bridges minister, condemned the “continuous falsehood and propaganda” of BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and other BNP leaders.
Despite winning in the general election, the BNP secretary general did not join the parliament, which is a clear cheating with public opinion, he said, adding that although the BNP leaders talk about democracy, they bear autocratic and anti-state spirit in their minds in disguise of democracy.
Urging the country’s people to remain alert about the inconsistent statements, propaganda and ill-politics of the BNP leaders, Quader said the BNP leaders claimed that the ruling Awami League has been isolated from people since 1971, which is a nonsense talk.
He said all the great things of the country were achieved under the leadership of Awami League, a party that led in the country’s liberation war in 1971 and the 1952 Language Movement.
