Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has said BNP leaders are making absurd comments, as they are suffering from mental trauma.
He said this while replying to a question after joining a programme at a city hotel in Dhaka on Sunday, reports BSS.
About BNP leaders claiming that Awami League (AL) men also didn’t cast their votes in elections, Quader, also the AL general secretary said, “This claim of BNP is not true.”
The Election Commission announced that 30-40 per cent of votes were cast in the upazila polls while 42 per cent of voters exercised their franchise in the national polls.
If 42 per cent of people cast their votes, then how do voters boycott polls, he questioned.
“Actually BNP leaders are suffering from mental trauma. That is why, they are making absurd comments in freestyle. Their comments are not realistic,” he said.
Asked about the BNP’s fresh preparation for wage movement, the AL general secretary said the BNP has the right to wage movement as a political party.
“If BNP wages movement in a peaceful manner, we will face them politically,” he said.
But if they carry out arson attacks or sabotage likewise in the past in the name of movement, the government will take actions accordingly and AL will also face them politically, he said.
