Quader calls BNP the real source of communalism

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has said BNP cannot tolerate Bangalis’ culture as the party is the real source of communalism and also a patron of militancy. 

“BNP is inherently pro-Pakistan…Pakistan remains deep in their heart. These communal evil forces are actually in opposition to the spirit of Bangla and the spirit of Bangladesh,” Qauder, also the road transport and bridges minister, made this remark while addressing the inaugural function of a colourful rally and discussion held at Bahadur Shah Park in Dhaka marking the Bangla New Year.

The program was organized by Dhaka South Awami League on Sunday.

Terming BNP the "communal evil force", the ruling party leader said: “It is clear who are really against the spirit of Boishakh …they wanted to stop the procession led by then opposition leader Sheikh Hasina at Suhrawardy Uddyan…that evil forces remain on the soil of this country.” 

The minister, however, emphasized preserving the historic Bahadur Shah Park saying the authorities must protect this historic place.

“We have to protect our culture for the survival of Bangladesh under the dynamic leadership of Sheikh Hasina,” he added. 

Terming BNP the enemy of Bangali culture, the state and the spirit of the Liberation War, the minister called upon the people to prevent and defeat this enemy and march towards victory.

Later, a colourful rally paraded in front of Bahadur Shah Park and ended in front of the Awami League central office on Bangabandhu Avenue.

Leaders and activists of different ruling party front organizations also took part in the rally.
