Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Friday warned that if violence is committed in the name of the movement, it will be resisted by the people.
He was speaking at the three-day international conference on 'Green Bangladesh: Prosperous Bangladesh' organized by Awami League's sub-committee on forest and environment at Dhaka University's Senate Bhavan.
Quader,also the road transport and bridges minister, said that Awami League will never attack anyone. But if it comes under attack it will counter attack.
Opposition BNP, he said, is trying all possible ways to make the next election questionable as it knows very well that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina can't be defeated in ballots.
Quader said police can't be blamed if they nab those accused in cases of terrorism.
He said, if BNP activists are criminals, why is there so much objection if they are brought under the law?
