Another mistake by BNP
Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader yesterday said BNP's decision of not taking oath was the repetition of its mistake.
“BNP made a mistake in 2014 by boycotting the general election. Yesterday, the party made another mistake by taking the decision to not take oath as members of parliament,” he said.
The road transport and bridges minister came up with the remarks while talking to reporters after placing wreaths at the portrait of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmandi-32.
Pointing to the submission of a memorandum by leaders of BNP-led Oikyafront to the Election Commission demanding re-election, Quader said, “They're doing what the defeated opposition parties do... this is a common post-election scenario. It's not new. This will stop after a few days as people voted for our party spontaneously.”
“It's disrespectful to people's verdict. The party [BNP] should show respect to people's mandate,” Quader added.
