AL does not need to lobby with anyone: Quader

GBNews24 Desk//

Claiming that the Awami League government does not need to lobby with anyone to stay in power, the party general secretary Obaidul Quader said the AL knows that the people’s love and support are required to do politics.

“But the power-monger BNP has been established through killing-cue-conspiracy. Since its birth, it has done nothing for the people’s welfare. Due to the ill-politics of BNP, the democratic culture of Bangladesh has been repeatedly hindered,” the AL general secretary said in a statement on Friday, BSS reports.

Quader said they are ready to respond to any conspiracy hatched against the government.

“The Awami League, under the leadership of Bangabandhu daughter Sheikh Hasina, is committed to uphold the democratic spirit in any way and is ready to resist any plot,” he said.

Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, issued the statement, condemning and protesting the “baseless and fabricated” statements of BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir published in media.

Noting that elections will be held in time as per the constitution of the country, he said it is not the responsibility of the government to bring anyone in the elections.

According to the law, the entire responsibility of conducting elections has been bestowed upon the Election Commission (EC), he said.

But, he said, the ruling AL expects that all political parties believing in the democratic spirit will join the elections and the BNP will be involved in the politics of public welfare, shunning the path of intrigue.

The AL believes that the people are the source of all power, Quader said, adding that the Awami League is an invincible force of emotion and undivided feeling in the hearts of the country’s people, which is historically proven.
