BSS :
Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader urged BNP to take lessons from the welfare-oriented politics of AL President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
He came up with the call while speaking at an agreement signing ceremony at the Roads and Highways Department in the city on Monday morning.
The agreement was signed between the Roads and Highways Department and a construction company under a project titled ‘Excel Control Centre Installation at the Source of Transportation on Important Highways’.
Quader, also the Road Transport and Bridges Minister, said the BNP could learn many things from Sheikh Hasina’s commitments to the country’s people, but the harsher reality of history is that BNP has not learned from it.
Mentioning that the Awami League and its President Sheikh Hasina always keep pledges given to the people and never cheat them, he said: “But, by celebrating fake birthdays of the BNP chief, they (BNP leaders) are now known to the people as cheats.”
Quader said If the BNP had minimum responsibility towards the country’s people, it would stop criticising the government and stand by the people during the Covid-19 inoculation period.
However, he said, the BNP leaders are staying at a safe distance from people in the fear of public outrage due to their constant lying and anti-people activities. “Politics does not mean lying about everything, not blind criticism,” he added.
