AL feels no uncomfortable for US statement: Quader

Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has said that the AL government does not feel no uncomfortable due to the statement of the United Nations on the 12th general election.

Obaidul Quader made the remark while speaking at a press conference at the AL President’s Dhanmondi political office on Friday afternoon.

He said BNP's non-participation in the 12th general election is part of its conspiracy against the country's sovereignty.

He said the election would have been more competitive if the BNP participated in it. “Yet, the election was not voter-less and non-competitive though BNP did not participate in it. The party's election boycott is part of a conspiracy against the country's sovereignty,” he added.

He said in many countries of the world, despite the participation of all political parties, the voter turnout is not seen above 40 percent.

AL Organising Secretaries BM Mozammel Haque, Mirza Azam, Afzal Hossain and Sujit Roy Nandi, Office Secretary Barrister Biplab Barua and Deputy Office Secretary Sayem Khan were, among others, present at the press conference.
