Game will be played in December: Quader

Issuing a fresh warning that the final game will be played in this December, the month of victory, and the next general elections as well Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said Awami League leaders and activists will not sit idle If BNP tries to occupy the capital on December 10.

He was addressing the annual council of Bangladesh Chhatra League’s Dhaka University unit on the premises of Aparajeyo Bangla on the university campus on Saturday.

He said BNP again proved that they are not a pro-Liberation War force by shifting its rally venue from Suhrawardy Udyan to Naya Paltan,

Suhrawardy Udyan is the place from where the journey of the country’s great Liberation War started, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivered his landmark speech on March 7 in 1971.

BNP’s such decision hints that they might carry out violent acts during their rally as they cannot tolerate the AL government’s development projects such as Padma Bridge, Karnaphuli Tunnel and Metro Rail, Quader said.     

“Awami League leaders and activists are not afraid of Naya Paltan rather we are afraid of BNP’s terrorism, violence and playing with sticks which are the activities of the party,” he added.
