Quader: Foreigners came and left but BNP’s hopes not fulfilled

BNP's hopes have not been fulfilled by foreigners, said Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader.

"Foreigners came and left but their (BNP's) hopes were not fulfilled. Now it is all Sheikh Hasina's fault. They are upset to think that they will actually get defeated in the election," he said while addressing as the chief guest at Awami League's peace and development procession organized at the Satrasta area at Tejgaon in the capital on Wednesday afternoon.

“The American representatives came and left. The BNP did not get what it wanted to hear. Because America has told BNP leaders that there is no need for a caretaker government,” said the Awami League leader.

“The next general election will be held in accordance with the constitution. BNP will have to come to elections under Sheikh Hasina. That is their irritation," he said.

"There is only one slogan and point across the country - Sheikh Hasina's Bangladesh. Come here at Satrasta and see the crowd and the revolution of the people,” he added.

Quader, also the Road Transport and Bridges minister, told the BNP leaders to stop the movement and come to the election to have dignity. Otherwise, there will be no respect, he said.
