Quader: BNP to be held accountable for Khaleda’s illness

Update : 29 Nov 2021, 09:44 PM

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Monday said the BNP is responsible for the illness of its Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia.

“The government is observing Khaleda Zia's health treatment issue. BNP is responsible for Khaleda Zia's illness because they are doing politics over the issue,” he said while addressing the conference of Dhaka South City Awami League's Ward No 23 unit at Nawabganj Park in the capital.

Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said the BNP leaders are shedding crocodile tears over Begum Zia.

“We have to think about her health. None should do politics over her illness,” he said.

About the union parishad elections, Quader said the UP elections are being held all over the country in a festive manner, while the voter turnout broke all-time records.

As BNP leaders do not stay in the field after calling a movement, the country’s people do not respond to their call, he said.

Urging private bus owners to accept the students’ demand of half transport fare, the road transport minister said: “Considering our social responsibility, we do not want to see students on the streets. Let them go home.”

Speaking at the meeting, party’s Joint General Secretary and Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni said the HSC examinations will not be postponed due to the new Covid-19 variant – Omicron – and the examinations will be taken in time maintaining health safety guidelines.

“This variant is extremely destructive. Everyone should follow the health safety guidelines,” she added.

The Awami League needs to be strengthened further, he added.
