BNP's black flag program ‘anti-people’: Quader

Obaidul Quader

Dhaka, Jan 30 Describing BNP's “black flag” program as “anti-people”, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Tuesday said AL will ensure security of lives and property. 

“BNP's black flag program is an anti-people programme, and it is a deep conspiracy against the country's democratic journey. If the programme is not withdrawn, AL will be vigilant to ensure security of people’s lives and property,” he said while briefing reporters at AL’s Dhanmondi office. 

No programme against public interest will be tolerated, he said adding, “We will resist all conspiracies for the sake of the country's development, progress and democracy under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina.” 

Referring to the UN statement about release of BNP leaders and activists, the Road Transport and Bridges Minister said that the statement is based on inaccurate report and wrong information. 

“As per the Home Minister, the number of inmates is not more than 10,000. If you commit a crime, you have to be punished. Bail is granted if it is a bailable offence,” he said.

Referring to the price hike of daily essentials, Quader said, “Price hike of daily essentials is a big challenge now and the new parliament will play a decisive role and give priority to the problem.” - UNB
