Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader yesterday said BNP has shown disrespect to the Liberation War through the inauguration of its programmes, marking the golden jubilee of the country\u2019s independence, by a convict.<\/p>\n
\u201cBNP showed disrespect to the country\u2019s Liberation War by getting inaugurated its programmes, taken on the occasion of the golden jubilee of the independence, by a person convicted in graft cases,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, came up with the remarks while speaking at the inaugural ceremony of BRTC double-decker bus service on Chattogram-Boalkhali road through videoconferencing from his official residence here.<\/p>\n
He said the country\u2019s people are surprised seeing that the function of a greatest achievement like the golden jubilee of the independence was inaugurated by a convicted fugitive.<\/p>\n
Quader said people are now raising questions about the BNP\u2019s commitment to the independence as a convicted fugitive inaugurated its programmes on the banks of the Thames River (in London) despite having many senior leaders and freedom fighters in the party. He said BNP has violated the spirit and values of the Liberation War by disregarding the country\u2019s independence. \u201cWhat sprit BNP wants to implement by paving the way for the communal forces to do politics in the country?\u201d he questioned. The AL general secretary said BNP leaders alleged that there was no politics in the country. \u201cIf people do not vote for the BNP candidates\u2026do we make the BNP candidates win by force to prove that there is democracy in the country?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
He said the country\u2019s people have turned their faces from BNP and the party, not the Election Commission, itself is responsible for that.<\/p>\n
About the transport sector, the minister said women are showing interest in driving gradually and that is why they should be imparted with training.<\/p>\n
Instructing the BRTC officials to restore the lost glory of the public entity, he said new routes will be identified to extend bus service across the country.<\/p>\n
Local MP Moslem Uddin Ahmad, leaders of AL Chattogram south district unit and BRTC officials were present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
