Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader alleged that BNP has deployed listed criminals to commit violence and destabilise the country for its political benefit.
He made the claim at a statement issued on Thursday after BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir that the government is obstructing the party’s political meetings.
“Mirza Fakhrul himself claimed that their political meetings were held peacefully. It means the meetings were not hampered. The government was vigilant to prevent any untoward incident by the party in the name of political programme. BNP has again deployed listed criminals in the field to let loose violence. The law enforcers are taking appropriate steps in this regard. However, the government is not booking anybody in concocted cases.”
About towering popularity of Awami League government, he said people know their life standards are much better under the current rule compared to BNP regime.
“People rejected BNP. To avenge, BNP committed anarchy. We are trying to save the countrymen from any BNP violence,” he said.
