Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has said BNP does not understand anything but power and such political parties are 'disaster' for Bangladesh.
"Sheikh Hasina's target is the next generation while BNP's target is the next election. They (BNP) do not understand anything except power", he said while speaking at inaugural program of Awami League's Science and Technology Sub-Committee website at the Institute of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) on Saturday, reports UNB.
Mentioning the recent quota movement and safe road protest the Obaidul, who is also road transport and bridges minister, said: “Though common people of Bangladesh did not respond to any movement, some parties and media spread rumours to divert the protests and make confusion.”
“Today's initiative (website inauguration) is an effort to stand against such propaganda,” he said.
Emphasising on raising consciousness about using social media, Obaidul said: "Cyber- attack is more harmful than terrorist attack. Facebook has both negative and positive sides. We have to be more sensible using social media."
He accused BNP of disparaging the country and complaining before the UN after losing public support.
"If you have any complaint then share it with public, how can a party have such narrow mentality? Is our country like Syria or Sudan that we have to go to the United Nations?" he asked.
Chairman of Bangladesh Awami League's Science and Technology Sub-Committee, Md Abdus Sobur, IEB President Md Abdus Sobur, member of Bangladesh Awami League's Science and Technology Sub-Committee Taizul Islam also spoke on the occasion.
