Stay alert of BNP-Jamaat conspiracies
Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader yesterday called upon party leaders and activists to remain alert against “conspiracies of BNP-Jamaat clique”.
“BNP-Jamaat clique is still hatching conspiracies. We will have to remain united against their schemes,” he told an anti-terrorism rally in front of AL central office on Bangabandhu Avenue in the capital.
Dhaka north and south city units of AL jointly organised the rally, marking the anniversary of countrywide series bombings on August 17 in 2005.
Regarding BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir’s remark that the government wants to make BNP leaderless, Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, said BNP leaders are making their party politically bankrupt.
Fakhrul did not take oath in due time after being elected a member of parliament and made the parliamentary seat vacant, he said.
The AL general secretary said BNP has made itself bankrupt by doing “negative politics”, making mistakes and patronising terrorism and militancy.
Quader said BNP had wanted to make Awami League leaderless by carrying out attacks on AL leaders during the regime of BNP-Jamaat. He said the countrywide series bomb blasts were carried out under patronage of the BNP government.
Though incidents such as August 15 carnage and August 21 grenade attack cannot be forgotten, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina still went to console BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia when her son Arafat Rahman Koko passed away, Quader said.
But BNP closed the doors for the premier, he added.
AL joint general secretaries Mahbub-ul-Alam Hanif and Jahangir Kabir Nanak; organising secretaries Ahmed Hossain, AFM Bahauddin Nasim, Enamul Haque Shamim and Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Nowfel; office secretary Dr Abdus Sobhan Golap; central leader Qamrul Islam; and Dhaka (south) AL general secretary Shahe Alam Murad, among others, addressed the rally.
AL’s Dhaka (south) unit President Abul Hasnat chaired the event.
