BNP will face music if carry out terrorist activities: Quader

Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has said if BNP leaders or activists carry out terrorist activities in the name of political movement then they [BNP] will be resisted with double strength.

Quader said this while responding to a question after a joint meeting of the AL at the party’s Bangabandhu Avenue central office in the capital on Friday.

“BNP’s rally means arson attack, disorder and bloodshed. So, if BNP is allowed to carry out their activities in the entire capital, it will put people’s life and properties in danger. That is why we have to stay in field,” he said.

He said if BNP gets any chance, it will make damage to state and people’s life and prosperities.

Quader said BNP fears voters and so, it is not taking part in elections. There is no logical ground of their demands over the polls, he said.

After failing to wage movement and thwarting the polls, BNP is making evil attempts to create disorder and carry out terrorist activities in the country, he added.

 “Everyone will have to remain alert about it,” he said.

Those who do politics over the party chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia’s treatment can do anything against the state, he said.

Noting that there is conspiracy over upazila elections, the AL general secretary urged the party leaders and workers to remain alert and not to engage in any conflict.
 
Quader questioned whether any election was held in a peaceful manner without any causality during the BNP’s regime.
 
He said the first phase of the 6th upazila parishad elections were held in a peaceful manner and there was no report of any conflict.

So, credit of this peaceful election should be given to the Election Commission and the government, he said.

AL Presidium Members Dr Abdur Razzaque, Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya, Qamrul Islam and Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Joint General Secretaries Dr Hasan Mahmud, Mahbubul Alam Hanif and Dr Dipu Moni, Organizing Secretaries Ahmed Hossain, BM Mozammel Haque, Mirza Azam and Afjal Hossain, Liberation War Affairs Secretary Mrinal Kanti Das and Office Secretary Barrister Biplab Barua were present, among others.
