‘BNP’s movement threat turns into mockery’

City Desk :
Awami League (AL) general secretary Obaidul Quader today said BNP’s threat of movement has turned into a mockery to the country’s people.

“Before diminishing of the relish of a series of its failed ultimatums, BNP has again given a ridiculous ultimatum for its so-called one-point demand,” he said in a statement.

Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said the people have not forgotten yet that the BNP’s one-point, 10-point and 31- point movements reduced to ultimate failure.

Their threat of a harsher movement after Puja has become a matter of laughter for the people today, he said.

The AL general secretary said BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and BNP leaders are spreading propaganda and confusion among the people in the name of so-called road march.

The BNP leaders have become perplexed by seeing the new bridges, flyovers and new industrial areas developed on the Dhaka-Chittagong highway and the modern communication system in the entire Bangladesh, he said.

Quader said all the intimidations of BNP are as ridiculous as cock-and-bull story and every time, when BNP called for a movement, the country’s people turned their faces away.

The people of Bangladesh know better that the BNP’s movement is a movement for bringing Khaleda Zia and her son Tarique Rahman, who are sentenced in graft cases, to the state power through murder, coup and conspiracy, he said.
