Awami League General Secretary and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has commented that BNP has not stopped spreading lies and propaganda against the government even on the day of Eid.
He made this comment in response to a question from journalists at Awami League's Dhanmondi office on Tuesday (June 18).
Obaidul Quader said that BNP's claim that Qurbani have decreased due to price inflation is not true, Qurbani have increased compared to last year. The problem is BNP and Mirza Fakhrul.
He said, I did not taunt the opposition party on the day of Eid. My greetings to all. On the day of Eid, at least I refrain from throwing mud at each other.
He also said that last year on the first day of Eid-ul-Azha, 1 crore 3 thousand Qurbani took place, this time it was more than 1 crore 3 lakh on the first day. There is time today and tomorrow. Accept that inflation is close to 10 percent. But it was not 25 percent like Pakistan, 70 percent like Turkey or 300 percent like Argentina. So much propaganda, criticism, some intellectuals wanted to make Bangladesh Sri Lanka. We have sincerity, efforts. The Prime Minister is constantly trying. There is a mindset to right the wrongs of the past.
In response to another question, Mirza Fakhrul Islam challenged Alamgir and said, "Where has the sovereignty been hurt?" The ship withdrew from Saint Martin, taking back those who had infiltrated. A volley of Arakan rebels came towards St. Martin. They are fighting against the government of that country, the government of Myanmar, whatever it is. No incident of violation of Bangladesh's sovereignty or conflict was provoked by the government. We said before Mirza Fakhrul's speech, we will not incite anyone. But if affected, no one will be exempted.
Responding to the question about the corruption of former police officers and why action was not taken while they were in charge, he said how to take action before it came to the attention of the government, the corruption of individuals was not even investigated by the ACC, then how will we know. ACC and Judiciary are independent, they can investigate corruption, prosecute anyone. There is no obstacle from the government here. Our Prime Minister has not given shelter to corruption. Anyone should be brought to justice. But if we talk about the regime of BNP and Jatiya Party then there was a lot of corruption and terrorism. They were not tried.
