Quader calls for avoiding movements causing public sufferings

Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today called upon students to avoid any agitation programme which causes public sufferings.
Transport and Bridges Minister“The quota system in government jobs is a subjudice matter. So, we have to wait until the final judgment of the court,” he said.

“We think that the highest court will deliver verdict considering the real situation,” he added.

Obaidul Quader said this while addressing a press conference at AL president’s political office in city’s Dhanmondi, reports BSS.

AL general secretary noted that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has already talked about the quota system and pension scheme in the government jobs.

Quader said the government had abolished all quotas in public service in 2018. But, the High Court reinstated the system responding to an appeal of the children of seven valiant Freedom Fighters.

Obaidul Quader lamented that some political issues have been added to the movement against the quota system. BNP had landed its support to the movement and they are actively taking part in the agitation.

AL Joint General Secretaries Mahbub Ul Alam Hanif and AFM Bahauddin Nashim, Organising Secretaries BM Mozammel Haque, SM Kamal Hossain and Sujit Roy Nandi, Office Secretary Biplab Barua, Science and Technology Affairs Secretary Abdus Sabur were present.
