Awami League considers Jatiya Party as its slave: GM Quader

Jatiya Party Chairman and Opposition Deputy Leader Ghulam Mohammad Quader said Awami League came to power and wanted to make Jatiya Party a branch organization. After that, they wanted to make us servants, now they want to make us slaves in politics.

He said, Jatiya Party will not do politics under anyone's control. We are not doing politics to be a servant of anyone. We are doing politics for the liberation of the country and its people. We will not do politics as someone's servant. In politics we can extend the hand of friendship, we can do politics as friends. In politics, the National Party will not be a slave to anyone.

Gholam Mohammad Quader said these things while addressing the bi-annual conference of Jamalpur District Jatiya Party at Mirza Azam Auditorium in Jamalpur on Saturday (October 29).

Jamalpur District Jatiya Party convener Mustafa Al Mahmud was announced as president and member secretary Md Zakir Hossain Khan as general secretary and Kazi Khokon Khan as organizing secretary, Jatiya Party Chairman announced in the conference.

Jatiya Party Chairman Gholam Mohammad Quader also said that we supported Awami League in 1996 because we did not want corruption, misrule, looting and Hawa Bhaban. But Awami League came to power and wanted to create division in our party.

GM Quader said Awami League wants to weaken us. So we did not support Awami League in 2001 elections. Again in the interests of the country's politics, we supported the Awami League in 2008 to establish democracy and prevent factionalism, tendering and extortion.

'Awami League came to power again after 2008 and wanted to make the Jatiya Party a branch organization. Then they wanted to make us servants, now they want to make us slaves in politics. We are not doing politics to be a servant of anyone. We are doing politics for the liberation of the country and its people. The people of the country are with us', he added.

He said, there is no democracy in the country. The people of the country cannot protest. The people of the country want freedom from such misrule. Because there is no democracy, there is no accountability anywhere in the country.

Meanwhile, the Jatiya Party Chairman said that the country is walking the path of Sri Lanka due to corruption and mismanagement. The country is becoming a failed state. IMF, World Bank and Asian Development Bank do not want to give us loans. Because, we have error as reserve.
