BNP a 'terrorist party', no dialogue with them: Quader

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has said there can be no dialogue with BNP, a" terrorist party."

“They (BNP) have returned to their old pattern of sabotage and terrorism. So there can be no dialogue with terrorists,” he said today while briefing reporters at the Road Transport and Highways Division in Secretariat, reports UNB.

“Our prime minister has said there will be no dialogue with a terrorist group. I'm also saying no dialogue with them,” said the AL leader.

“BNP has been called for dialogue many times. The Election Commission has called them, the president has called them, but they will not go for dialogue,” added Quader.

“They (BNP) are the ones who have foiled their own movement; they have been shunned after attacking the chief justice's house, police, and killing a law enforcer,” added the minister.

“According to the constitution of the country, election will be held at the right time. Other countries do not hold elections based on our advice, so why should we listen to them?” -- the AL leader said.
