‘Awami League won’t take responsibility of a few wrongdoers’

Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader yesterday said his party will not take responsibility of wrongdoings of a few party men.

“Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina started taking action against the corrupt, tender manipulators and drug peddlers. Awami League will not take responsibility of few wrongdoers,” he said while addressing a discussion marking the birthday of Awami League President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at Krishibid Institution in the capital.

The AL general secretary said action will also be taken against those who brought Freedom Party and BNP men in AL, or extended cooperation for their intrusion into the party.

Extending greetings to Sheikh Hasina on her birthday, Quader said politicians are usually seen to ponder over the next election, but Sheikh Hasina thinks for the betterment of next generation.

Chaired by AL Advisory Council Member Amir Hossain Amu, the meeting was also addressed by Advisory Council Member Tofail Ahmed, PM’s Political Adviser HT Imam, AL presidium members Matia Chowdhury and Dr Muhammad Abdur Razzaque, Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif, Dr Dipu Moni, Advocate Jahangir Kabir Nanak and Abdur Rahman, Organising Secretary Ahmed Hossain, Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury and Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Nowfel, and Awami League Publicity and Publication Secretary and Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud.

Speaking at the event, Amir Hossain Amu said none will be spared for wrongdoings. “We cannot accept that a few wrongdoers would tarnish the image of the government which has a lot of achievements,” he added.

The AL leader said Sheikh Hasina has established herself as a successful statesperson by her own skills and competence.

Tofail Ahmed said Sheikh Hasina is not only a powerful statesperson but also one of the ten best statespersons in the world.
