BNP has no ability to oust govt: Razzaque

Agriculture Minister Dr Muhammad Abdur Razzaque has said BNP has no soil under its feet and it does not have the ability to oust the Awami League (AL)-led government.

"BNP will not be able to push down the government of Awami League. Since 2013, BNP has been pushing (the AL led government) sometimes along with Jamaat and sometimes with Hefazat but BNP was not able to budge the government. Rather, BNP itself has fallen on its face while pushing the government," he said, reports BSS.

Razzaque, also AL Presidium Member, made the remarks while addressing the triennial conference of Kamrangirchar's Ward Numbers 55, 56 and 57 units of AL and Kamrangirchar Police Station on the Kamrangirchar Government Hospital premises as the chief guest on Friday.

He said that Tarique Rahman, son of Ziaur Rahman who played a role in the conspiracy to kill Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, is hatching conspiracy from abroad.

But, Awami League leaders and activists will deal with this conspiracy strictly, he added.

AL presidium member Advocate Md Kamrul Islam, organizing secretary Ahmed Hossain, Dhaka South City unit AL president Abu Ahmed Mannafi and its general secretary Humayun Kabir also spoke on the occasion, among others.
