BNP a big obstacle to country’s democracy, security: Quader

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader today (October 18, 2022) said that the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is a big obstacle to the country's security, democracy and law and order.

"The country's democracy and the legal system will not be safe in the hands of BNP," Quader told reporters on the sidelines of a prayer ceremony in memory of Sheikh Russel at Banani graveyard this morning.

"History will not forgive those who were involved in the murder of Sheikh Russel, the youngest son of Father of Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, on August 15, 1975. The killing is unpardonable," he said.

On his part, Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Tapas said that "Russell's soul will rest in peace when his fugitive convicted killers will be brought back to the country and executed".
