Awami League general secretary and road transport and bridges minister Obaidul Quader on Wednesday warned Bangladesh Nationalist Party leaders that the consequences of playing with fire would not be good.
He issues the warning while speaking at a briefing at Setu Bhaban in the capital.
About the BNP’s divisional rallies, Quader said that the AL always welcomed any peaceful and democratic programme, but if any anarchy was created in the name of movement, the ruling party would give a befitting reply along with the people aiming to protect their lives and properties.
The Awami League keeps patience but it is also prepared with caution on the streets, he added.
Blaming that BNP is now hatching plots to oust the government in the name of movement, sensing its defeat in polls, the AL general secretary said that BNP was now daydreaming of mass upsurge.
Mentioning that the BNP leaders have been showing the threat of mass upsurge and movement for the last 14 years, he said that their threats were limited to media and Facebook, and the country’s people knew this very well.
Pointing out that the BNP leaders have no relations with reality, Quader said, ‘In fact, there is no such situation like a mass uprising in the country’.
