Hasina looks at next generation, BNP at election: Quader
Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader yesterday said BNP does not understand anything but power and such political parties are disastrous for the country.
“Sheikh Hasina's target is the next generation while BNP's target is the next election. They [BNP] don't understand anything except power,” he said.
Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, came up with the observation while speaking at the inaugural programme of Awami League's Science and Technology Sub-Committee website at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB).
Mentioning the recent quota movement and protest for safe roads, the minister said, “Some parties and some media spread rumours to stir up the protests in different directions and confuse public.”
Today's initiative (website inauguration) is an effort against such propaganda, he said.
Emphasising on raising awareness about using social media, Quader said, “Facebook has both negative and positive sides. We have to be more sensible in using social media.”
Quader accused BNP of disparaging the country and complaining to the United Nations after losing public trust.
“If you have any complaint then share it with public, how can a party have such narrow mentality? Is our country like Syria or Sudan that we have to go to the United Nations?” he asked.
Chairman of Awami League's Science and Technology Sub-Committee Md Abdus Sobur, among others, spoke on the occasion.
