If BNP continues their movement during the holy month of Ramadan instead of restraining themselves, they will become more isolated from the people, Road Transport and Bridges Minister and Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said on Monday.
The minister was speaking at a meeting of the party's secretariat board at the Awami League's central office at Bangabandhu Avenue this afternoon.
At that time, he highlighted the strong position of the government regarding the perpetrators of violence in the Supreme Court bar elections.

The Prime Minister is very strict in this regard, he added.
Regarding commodity prices, Obaidul Quader said that the government is very careful and making all-out efforts to keep the prices under control, within the purchasing power of the common people.
