Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has stated that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will not spare those who are involved in criminal activities.
He made these remarks at a press briefing at Awami League president's political office in Dhanmondi Tuesday morning.
Quader said: "It is not unusual that miscreants will try to infiltrate a party that is in power. Some of these people have found their way inside Awami League, but the prime minster will spare anyone who is infiltrating the party or is involved with criminal activities."
Road Transport and Bridges Minister Quader also said police took action against those accused of killing Abrar Fahad, a student of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet), following the prime minister's instructions.

Besides, Bangladesh Chhatra League, student wing of Awami League, earlier suspended 11 leaders from its committee.

Among others, Awami League Joint General Secretaries Mahabubul Alam Hanif and Jahangir Kabir Nanak were present at the briefing.
