BNP is main obstacle in implementation of democratic values: Quader

Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said, "BNP is the main obstacle to implementing the democratic values in the country. BNP leaders should have sought an unconditional pardon from the nation for their undemocratic activities. Without doing so, they are making their traditional ill-motivated comments."

Obaidul Quader came up with these remarks in a statement on Wednesday (March 27).

He said, "BNP was born at the hands of killer Ziaur Rahman following the brutal assassination of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on August 15, 1975. It is very ridiculous that BNP is now talking about democracy and human rights."

Noting that BNP has no responsibility to democracy, Quader said being killers of democracy, BNP is now shedding crocodile tears for democracy.

AL General Secretary said, "BNP leaders are now shedding tears for democracy to push back the country towards the misrule of Tarique Zia who is the mastermind of August 21 grenade attack, owner of 'Hawa-Khowab' Bhaban and kingpin of corruption-terrorism and criminalization."

"During the tenure of the BNP-Jamaat coalition government from 2001-2006, as many as 21,000 leaders and workers of Awami League were killed," he added.
