Awami League general secretary Obaidul Qadir on Friday said the BNP-led “communal forces” have to be opposed and defeated to protect Bangladesh’s democracy, the spirit of the liberation war and the country’s independence.
Describing BNP as the main enemy of the country, Quader said, ‘Once again the party (BNP) has announced a blockade to indulge in sabotage and arson violence.’
Roads, Transport and Bridges Minister Quader made the remarks after paying homage to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Dhanmondi 32 this morning on the occasion of Jail Massacre Day.
Awami League general secretary said, “24 journalists were brutally attacked on October 28.” A policeman was killed, a hospital was attacked and the residence of the Chief Justice was attacked. They set fire to the parked bus, resulting in the death of the helper sleeping inside.”
