Quader: BNP rally venue issue will be resolved soon

Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Tuesday said the issue regarding the venue for the BNP's rally on December 10 in Dhaka will be resolved soon.

"No one wants any chaos in the country. The problem regarding the BNP's rally venue will be resolved soon," he said while replying to journalists at his Secretariat office.

Earlier, Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Pranay Kumar Verma paid a courtesy call on the minister at his office.

Quader said neither the Awami League nor the government wants any chaos or disorder. But if the BNP wants to create panic or resorts to creating chaos, it will be given an apt reply, he added.

About his meeting with the Indian high commissioner, he said they discussed various issues including road connectivity, progress of different projects and the Teesta River.

He said the Indian envoy assured him of making utmost efforts and discussing the matter with their prime minister, Narendra Modi.

The problem is getting permission from the state concerned, Quader said, citing Verma's comment.

He said they also talked about the general election of Bangladesh.
