Obaidul urges quota protesters to keep patience

Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has urged the general students and countrymen to remain alert against conspiracy and ill efforts of vested groups, including BNP, over the movement against quota system in government job.

The AL leader said this in a statement on Sunday (July 14).

He said the anti-quota movement is a nonpolitical agitation. But BNP and their collaborators are trying to turn the movement into an anti-government agitation.

Obaidul Quader said, “Why will the government face a non-political movement politically? The government has intention to face the anti-quota movement politically.”

He also said earlier BNP and their allies failed to wage any movement and now they are depending on anti-quota movement and trying to use it as a political weapon.

Quader said the students have been urged to keep patience as the matter in under trial in the court. The government has nothing to do on this issue, he said.
