‘Awami League barely in politics anymore’

"Awami League is barely in the political field anymore, they are running the country through the power of administration," said Jatiya Party Chairman and Deputy Leader of the Opposition GM Quader yesterday.

He made the remarks at a views-exchange programme with Comilla district and city Jatiya Party leaders at the party chairman's Banani office.

Saying that the people of the country are eagerly waiting for the Covid-19 vaccine, GM Quader said if the vaccine isn't available from India on time, the government should find alternative manufacturers. He called upon the government to ensure free vaccination for people at any cost.

He also said the government should take immediate and effective steps to save people from Covid-19.

On the topic of the country's current political scenario, GM Quader said AL's power is centred around the administration now.

Meanwhile, BNP's chairperson managed to get out of jail under conditions, he said. "Tarique Rahman lacks public acceptance. It is difficult for BNP to survive in politics."

GM Quader claimed Jatiya Party has survived in the field of politics with the love and confidence of people.

Meanwhile, Jatiya Party Secretary General Ziauddin Ahmed Bablu said, "Jatiya Party is the only party that has a tradition of development and good governance for the countrymen."

Bablu said people are eagerly waiting to vote in favour of the plough -- the electoral symbol of Jatiya Party.

He called upon JP leaders and workers to make the party stronger.

The party's joint secretary generals -- Fakhrul Ahsan Shahzada and Amir Hossain Bhuiyan and Organising Secretary Syed Iftekhar Ahsan were present at the programme among others.
