Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Wednesday said that BNP is now trying to tie up with other political parties after losing its ability to move alone.

“Those who don’t have unity in their own party, how will they unite with others? The distance between BNP and its allies is more visible than unity,” he told reporters at his office in the Secretariat on Wednesday.

Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, said that the public memory is still fresh about what happened with the so-called unity between BNP and its allies.

He expressed the hope that no progressive political organization in the country believing in the spirit of liberation war would fall into the trap of this conspiracy of BNP.

The BNP is now in a deep crisis, he said trashing BNP’s oft-repeated allegation that Bangladesh, under the rule of Awami League, has plunged into crisis.

The AL general secretary said his counterpart in BNP should realise that the party is now like an aimless pedestrian after losing both in movement and elections.

In response to the BNP secretary general's allegation that the government has kept Tareq Rahman in exile, Quader countered by saying that Tareq instead fled abroad on a bond saying he would not do politics again.

The AL leader said that no conscientious, well-informed and pro-democracy patriotic leader would support the extremist communal forces led by the killer of democracy and added that they have lost the ability to understand this issue.

Quader once again made it clear that the next parliamentary elections will be held under the newly formed neutral election commission. There is no room for doubt about this.
