Achievements turned into destruction due to arson attack: Quader

Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has said that all achievements of the present government have been turned into destruction due to arson attack.

He made the remark at a food distribution ceremony on Wednesday, organised by Mohammadpur unit of the Awami League, on Shyamoli-Adabar ring road in the capital.

Criticising the statement of BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, Quader said Mirza Fakhrul is still falsifying as they do not believe in the spirit of liberation war.

Mentioning that city-dwellers wanted metro rail, he said it will take a year to recover the damage of metro rail caused due to attack on Mirpur metro station during the students’ movement.

He said Setu Bhaban was affected, and his office was on the second floor of the building, which turned into coal, and BRTA building was also torched.

AL Presidium Member Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Organising Secretary Mirza Azam and Dhaka North City AL President Sheikh Bazlur Rahman, among others, spoke.
