Road Transport and Bridge Minister Obaidul Quader on Sunday said that BNP wants to paint Awami League as the aggressor to foreigners but Awami League will not do that under any circumstances.
At the same time, he also warned that no concession will be given if any attacks are made on them.
He gave this warning at a joint meeting at Awami League central office this afternoon.
Obaidul Quader said Awami League will hold peace rallies across the country till the next general election for peaceful voting. “If necessary, programs will be given down to the ward level.”
Responding to a question on the new US visa policy specific to Bangladesh, the Road Transport and Bridges Minister said there is no reason for the government to be unhappy over it.
“Bangladesh has no lord abroad, it has friends,” he said.
The minister said, “We don’t have any headache about that. We have started the process of a free and fair election. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has made the Election Commission independent by law. We are preparing the ground for a free, fair and neutral election.”
Al Joint General Secretaries AFM Bahauddin Nasim, Dr Dipu Moni, Organizing Secretaries BM Mozammel Haque, SM Kamal Hossain, Mirza Azam, Sujit Roy Nandi, Office Secretary Barrister Biplob Barua, among others, were present at the meeting.
