DHAKA, Oct 19, 2023 (BSS) - Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today said that BNP is falling down due to its futile movements. 

"BNP is now falling down due to its failed movement and the path, BNP is following the wrong one," he said while chairing the inauguration ceremony of 150 bridges and 14 overpasses at Tejgaon Sarak Bhaban in the capital.

Pointing at BNP, the minister said: "Why the Prime Minister will resign? Do not call the care-taker government system as it lies in Azimpur graveyard." 

Highlighting the development spree of Bangladesh in the last 15 years, Quader said that this transformation of Bangladesh is a wonder of the world.

"This has been possible due to the creative leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the worthy daughter of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman," he added.

But a vested quarter is worried about this development of the country, he said, adding if people want to protect development, achievements, democracy, liberation war and freedom of this country, there will be no alternative to Sheikh Hasina.

"Haven't they seen the British Prime Minister's body language to respect the Prime Minister of Bangladesh?" Obaidul Quader said, adding the President of the United States did not take picture with anyone else whereas he took pictures with Sheikh Hasina during the G-20 summit in New Delhi and he also took picture with Bangladesh's Prime Minister in New York.

He said: "If Sheikh Hasina does not come to power, democracy will be destroyed."

He urged all to come to the path of peace, progress and development by staying beside AL-led government.

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Ministry of Road Transport and Bridge Rowshan Ara Mannan and Secretary of the Road Transport and Highways Division under the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges A B M Amin Ullah Nuri, among others, spoke on the occasion.
