BNP-Jamaat intriguing to create anarchy: Quader

Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has said BNP-Jamaat is hatching conspiracy to create anarchy across the country on the Human Rights Day to be observed on December 10.

The AL general secretary came up with the remark at a press conference held at AL President’s Dhanmondi political office on Wednesday afternoon.

Quader said BNP is planning afresh to create violence across the country on the Human Rights Day involving Jamaat, but their plan has been leaked out.

“BNP has pushed itself further behind by doing the wrong politics. We want Jatiya Party to be a strong opposition party. The Awami League will hold talks with Jatiya Party in the evening. After this, a decision will be taken on allocation of seats and symbols,” he said.

Assuring that the next general election will be free and fair, the AL general secretary said the incumbent government is cooperating with the Election Commission (EC) to this end.

Regarding the closure of the BNP office, Quader said BNP men themselves have locked up the office.

AL presidium member Jahangir Kabir Nanak, joint general secretary and Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud, joint general secretaries Mahbubul Alam Hanif and AFM Bahauddin Nasim were, among others, present.
