Quader urges BNP to play in the field of politics

Urging the BNP leaders to join the next general elections, Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Saturday said there would be a game and it will be played in the field of politics.

He said It (game) will be played especially in the field of elections. So, I urge BNP to come to the fields of politics and elections.

Quader came up with the call at a discussion organised by Dhaka North and South City units of AL, marking the Imprisonment Day of Awami League (AL) President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, at the party’s central office on Bangabandhu Avenue here.

He also called upon the BNP leaders not to play with the fire as their fireplay will be thwarted by AL with the support of the people of the country.

Responding to BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir’s statement that the siren of the government’s collapse is ringing, he said he (Fakhrul) might hear the siren of cars running in the streets.

“If any siren is heard, it will be your (BNP leaders) farewell siren as negative politics has made BNP irrelevant in the political arena,” he added.

Urging the party leaders and workers to be careful to counter the conspiracy of BNP and perpetrators of the then one-eleven political changeover, he said, they are once again conspiring against the country with the help of foreigners.

Highlighting the turmoil situation across the world such as wars, conflicts, price hikes in energy as well as fuel, and inflation, the minister said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the worthy daughter of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, is currently facing big challenges and her government is working relentlessly to deal with these situations.

“The Premier (in such situation) now stays awake all night so that the people of the country can sleep,” he continued.
