BNP spreads propaganda over lockdown: Quader

Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Friday said BNP is now out to spread propaganda centering lockdown after failing in their evil politics over vaccine.

“Doesn’t BNP actually want that the coronavirus situation comes under control? BNP’s double standard remarks could discourage the people in staying home,” he told a coronavirus protective equipment distribution ceremony at the AL president’s Dhanmondi political office here.

From his official residence, Quader virtually joined the function arranged by AL sub-committee on relief and social welfare.

Covid-19 protective equipments were handed over to representatives of several journalists’ organizations and religious institutions.

About BNP leaders’ allegation that there is no democracy in country, Quader questioned what BNP has done to strengthen democracy.

BNP has now turned out to be ‘peddler’ of democracy after doing undemocratic practices and creating obstacles in every step of taking ahead the democracy, he said.

The minister said BNP had ruined the country’s democracy and given an institutional shape to corruption.

BNP will not be successful in their evil acts to thwart the country’s march forward, as the people want development and progress, he said.

He hoped that the ongoing struggle under the leadership of Bangabandhu’s daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to guide the country towards development, progress and stronger democracy will be successful with the cooperation of people of all strata.
