Ruling Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader on Saturday said that the final game would be played in the next general elections as everything would be decided through the polls.
The AL leader made the remark while commenting on the next general elections and activities of the leaders and activists of the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party.
He said that there were still bloodstains on the hands of the leaders and activists of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.
‘I want to warn Mirza Fakhrul that there are huge bloodstains on your hands. (On the other hand), we did not kill any of you. We do not believe in the politics of murder and conspiracy,’ he said.
Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said these while addressing the conference of the Bangladesh Chhatra League’s combined private university branch at Krishibid Institution, Bangladesh in the capital.
He further said that BNP killed 21 thousand Awami League leaders and activists, including Ahsanullah Master, Kibria and Ivy Rahman.
About Zia’s body, he said that the body of Zia was brought to Dhaka from Chattogram but nobody saw that body.
‘Can Mirza Fakhrul Saheb show a picture of the body? He can’t,’ Quader added.
Referring to BNP leaders, Quader said, ‘Can you oust the government? Let’s see if the people respond. Still people have no response in this regard.’
Mentioning that the movement of BNP means their internal quarrels, he went on saying that the movement of the leaders and activists of BNP means infighting and throwing chairs among themselves.
He said that when BNP attacks on police, the law enforcers have to retaliate for their self-defence.
The AL general secretary said that Mirza Fakhrul was talking about movement repeatedly but the people were not responding.
‘The people have no connection with BNP except its activists,’ he continued.
With Chhatra League private university branch president Zahid Hossain Parvez in the chair, the programme was conducted by its general secretary Azizul Hakim Samrat.
About the killers of the country’s founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Quader posed the question, ‘Why were the murderers rewarded? Why they were safely sent abroad? Why were they given jobs in our embassies?’
They (BNP leaders) will not answer these questions as they are afraid to face the truth, he added.
Office secretary of Awami League Biplab Barua, Dhaka North City Corporation mayor Atiqul Islam, Bangladesh Chhatra League president Al Nahian Khan Joy and its general secretary Lekhak Bhattacharya and Samilito Private University Chhatra League founder general secretary Sarkar Rifat Sanjay also spoke, among others, on the occasion.
