Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Wednesday called upon the BNP leaders to return to the path of welfare-based politics shunning the undemocratic tactics.
“We urge the BNP leaders to quit undemocratic ways and return to the path of public welfare-oriented politics. Prepare to join the elections shunning the anti-national plots and the attempts to destroy democratic system,” he said in a statement.
“Otherwise, you will be rejected by the people like in the past. I hope your good intellect will emerge,” he added.
Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said after the killing of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members in 1975, BNP founder and military dictator Ziaur Rahman introduced so-called multi-party democracy in the country violating the constitution and democracy.
He said Zia had provided licenses to anti-liberation and communal forces to do politics in the country.
The BNP founder also showed mockery to the nation by introducing curfew-brand-democracy in the name of multi-party democrcy through political criminalisation, involving so-called political parties and the derailed political leaders, he added.
