Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Friday said the BNP has set a record for torturing minorities in Bangladesh.
Quader said this while responding to a statement by BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
He was addressing the triennial conference of various units and wards of Dhaka North City Awami League, joining virtually from his official residence.
Criticizing the BNP leaders, he said the talks of electricity do not befit the people, who only gave poles to the people of Bangladesh instead of providing electricity.
The Awami League general secretary said: “BNP has a habit of lying.
“Is there any development you have made for the country that you will be using to garner votes from the people?” he questioned Mirza Fakhrul.
He said people want development, and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government is doing so for the countrymen.
“That’s why people are happy about the development activities of the government of Sheikh Hasina, and it upsets BNP,” he added.
Obaidul Quader further said the Awami League will win in the next general elections under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina by building a bridge between the party and the people.
The Awami League does not do politics for itself, rather they do politics for the betterment of the country’s people, he said, asking the party men to get ready for the next general election as it is approaching.
Quader also called upon the Awami League leaders and activists to get prepared to resist all the conspiracies of the communal forces.
"We have to deal the people with good behaviours, and then none can stop the victory of Awami League,” he added.
Awami League Joint General Secretary AFM Bahauddin Nasim, Organizing Secretary Mirza Azam, Dhaka North City Awami League President Sheikh Bazlur Rahman, its General Secretary SM Mannan Kochi, and Md Habib Hasan, MP, among others, spoke at the meeting with Uttara Paschim Thana Awami League President advocate Monower Islam Chowdhury Robin in the chair.
