Quarter-final with BNP over, now its time for semi-final: Quader

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader today said that it is not possible for BNP to come to power by "burning people to death".

Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, came up with the remark while addressing the Chuadanga district Awami League council at the town football ground.

"Quarter-final with BNP is over, now semi-final will be held, and the final game will be held during the national election," said Quader.

Referring to the forex reserve issue, the Awami League leader said Tarique Rahman remained absconding after looting money from the country and sending it abroad. "How can they talk about the forex reserves? The country has sufficient reserves," he assured.

After seven years, the triennial conference of Chuadanga district Awami League is being held today with more than 50,000 people joining it.

Awami League presidium member Kazi Zafar Ullah announced the opening of the council around 11:00am.

Quader joined the event virtually.
