General Secretary of Awami League and Minister of Road Transport and Bridges Obaidul Quader commented that BNP is trying to create a new anti-government movement by capitalizing on the anti-quota movement of students.
He made this comment at a press conference organized at the Dhanmondi political office of the Awami League president on Thursday (July 11) afternoon.The Minister said that the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has given a stay of four weeks regarding the quota reform. I urged the agitating students to be patient and respect the court. When the judicial process is going on, the agitators are giving trouble to people in the name of Bangla Blockade without any respect.Obaidul Quader said that some parties including BNP have supported the movement. Leaving the failure of the movement behind the students in a political trap, they are preparing to start a new movement. BNP is trying to turn the anti-quota movement into an anti-government movement.He also said that Fakhrul said that there is no need for freedom fighter quota. They have no respect for freedom fighters. By opposing the quota, BNP has once again proved that it is against the liberation war.At that time Awami League Joint General Secretary Mahbub Ul Alam Hanif, AFM Bahauddin Nashim, Organizing Secretary BM Mozammel Haque, SM Kamal Hossain, Afzal Hossain, Office Secretary Biplab Barua, Relief and Social Welfare Affairs Secretary Aminul Islam Amin, Liberation War Affairs Secretary Mrinal Kanti.
