Obaidul Quader, also Awami League General Secretary, said, the BNP is trying to create anarchy over the upcoming national election.
“They are hatching conspiracy after they failed to wage any movement against the government in the last 10 years, because people did not respond them even when the BNP chairperson was out of jail,” he said.
