DHAKA, June 30, 2024 (BSS)- Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has said BNP is doing politics over the illness of Begum Khaleda Zia.

“BNP leaders are spreading falsehood over the health condition of Begum Khaleda Zia. They are making confusion among the people through spreading propaganda about her health condition,” he said in a statement today.

Quader said the countrymen have rejected BNP’s all so-called political activities in the name of movements. BNP has turned into a failed political organization, he said.

Noting that Khaleda Zia is a convicted person in graft case, Obaidul Quader said, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has shown her unprecedented generosity to Begum Zia by giving her permission to stay at home and take treatment in a private hospital.

Khaleda Zia is availing opportunities of getting best treatment under specialized local and foreign doctors, he said.

BNP leaders are making illegal demands for release of Begum Zia without maintaining judicial procedure, he said.

AL general secretary said, BNP leaders are instigating the people on Begum Zia’s heath issue.

He said BNP is trying to destroy political stability as the party has no faith in constitution, rule of law and democracy.

Quader said Awami League is pledged bound to uphold the country’s constitution and rule of law. A democratic government cannot accept any illogical demand, he said.

Awami League leaders and activists will resist all terrorist activities and conspiracy of BNP, he asserted.
