Quader slams BNP for occupy-the-street threat

BNP seeks to turn the country into a failed state through a planned apolitical approach, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said on Friday.

Regarding BNP leaders' order to their workers to occupy the streets, Quader said that the roads are not the ancestral property of anyone and the streets belong to the people.

So like in the past, if chaos is created again in the name of occupying the roads, the people will give a befitting reply, Quader said this during a briefing at his residence in Dhaka this morning.

Stating that the Awami League will soon be seen on the streets, Quader also read transport and bridges minister said that BNP's shouting is nothing but just a tactic of covering its failures.

BNP wants to return to power to for looting public wealth again and to block the immense potential of the country by creating Hawa Bhaban but the people will never allow them to do so, he said.

As a political party BNP has no trust in the people, claimed the AL general secretary and said BNP’s political backbone is very fragile.

He said the BNP wants to come to power but is afraid of taking part in the elections.

Quader called upon the BNP leaders to forget about the concept of caretaker government and said it is a settled issue and there is no chance to restore the system.
