Quader advises BNP to prepare for next polls

Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has advised BNP to get ready for the next election instead of thinking about its next movement.

He gave the advice while speaking at a joint meeting of the AL at the party’s Bangabandhu Avenue central office on Friday.

Responding to the statements of BNP leaders that they would continue their movement till victory is achieved, Quader said BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir is now daydreaming again after coming out of jail.

He said if the people’s government is in power, BNP should feel that it would be very tough to wage a movement against the government as it has no issue to do so.

In his opening speech at the joint meeting, the AL general secretary highlighted the presence of Bangladesh in the security conference in Germany, claiming that Bangabandhu's daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has brought great honour to the country by participating in this conference.

At the meeting, the AL general secretary informed about the instructions of AL President Sheikh Hasina given to the party men concerned to resolve the AL's internal disputes along with the formation of the expired committees of the party.
