Quader criticizes BNP’s confusing politics, movements

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Thursday said BNP's politics is revolving around the confusion of its points as the party has been announcing different points at different times

Sometimes it declares 10 points, sometimes it announces 27 points, one point, and even 31 points. These points announced at various times have already been rejected by the people, he said in a statement.

Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said BNP continues its failed attempts to survive in politics by announcing new points at different times.

The points of BNP have been announced not considering the people's demand but those are a strategy to bring back the autocratic and ill politics that has traditionally been associated with corruption, looting, terrorism and militancy, he said.

The Awami League general secretary said there is no specific work plan in the BNP's points and outlines for public welfare but they (BNP leaders) are desperately trying to mislead the people.

“In fact, BNP does not believe in the outlines and points, the party is now presenting as it carried out destructive activities against these policies during its reign,” he said.

Using the democratic term as a signboard, they want to restore the misgovernance of Hawa Bhaban by implementing the conspiracy of Tarique Rahman, the blessed son of corruption, the mastermind of the August 21 grenade attack, and the key sponsor of terrorism and militancy, Quader said.

He said the BNP leaders are talking about the release of whitepapers of graft but the country's people have not forgotten that Bangladesh became champion in corruption five times in a row during the BNP's regime.

The road transport and bridges minister said the so-called outline of BNP is talking about religious freedom, fair wages for workers, and rights of farmers, which is nothing but the devil listening to the scriptures.     

He said BNP founder and military dictator Ziaur Rahman first brought a blow to religious freedom in this country, while BNP lawmakers, ministers, and cadre forces brutally carried out oppression on women of minority communities.

BNP has repeatedly attacked their religious freedom, he added.

BNP did nothing for the welfare of the working class during its regime rather their hands were stained with the blood of the workers, the Awami League general secretary said.

Even during the holy month of Ramadan, 17 workers were shot dead for demanding their salary and bonus during their regime, he said.

Quader said the BNP also killed people agitating for electricity in Kansat and shot farmers to death for agitating for fertilizers and diesel.

Without repenting their past misdeeds and apologizing to the nation, the BNP leaders are preparing the outline of confusion, he added.

BNP leaders are now talking about democracy but they, in fact, want to repeat their politics of vengeance in the package of democracy, the AL general secretary said.

He said BNP and its allies are the main obstacles to the establishment of a prosperous, peaceful and welfare-inclusive democratic Bangladesh.

Under the leadership of Awami League President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the Awami League has been working to build a democratic Bangladesh with the participation of all who believe in the spirit and values of the great Liberation War, he added.

Quader said this trend of public welfare will continue in the prosperous Smart Bangladesh in the future under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

BNP's so-called outlines and threats of movement cannot hinder the ongoing development and progress of Bangladesh, he said, adding that the country's people will unitedly resist the conspiracy of the evil forces under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
