Awami League general secretary and road transport and bridges minister Obaidul Quader on Saturday said that doing politics centring anti-India and religious sentiments was Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s old strategy.
‘BNP is rumour-centric political party. Making falsehood following the strategy of Goebbels (German Nazi politician) is their only weapon,’ he told a press conference at his official residence in Dhaka.
Noting that BNP’s these strategies have become blunt weapons, Quader said that BNP now used ‘religion card’ that the Awami League never did.
He said that the BNP’s call for banning the government revealed the party’s inconclusive politics.
Any responsible political party having the minimum level of commitment to the country and the people cannot make such comments, he mentioned.
He said that BNP’s politics was similar to the proverb ‘To make way for one’s own destroyer’.
The minister said that when the BNP was in power, they kept the country's less of democracy behind the mask of democracy and now they wanted to walk on the same path.
The BNP is making blind criticism of the government all the time and holding meetings, he said.
On the contrary, they are saying they have no right to talk, he said, adding that BNP has made falsification as an art.
BNP wants to lead the country towards an undemocratic path, turn it into a safe haven of terrorism and extremism, and spread politics of communal hatred, he said.
