The next national election will be held as per the constitution under the independent Election Commission, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has said.
“The election won’t stop for any political party. There are multiple political parties who want to join the election. Why do you think that election won’t be acceptable if one or two parties do not participate? To participate in the election is a political right, and if a party doesn’t use it, that’s up to them,” he said.
The Road Transport and Bridges Minister came up with the remarks while talking to reporters after placing a wreath on the grave of Sheikh Russel at Banani Graveyard in Dhaka. Wednesday marks the 60th birth anniversary of the youngest son of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
“The law enforcing agencies are arresting those who were involved in arson, vandalism and were accused in arms and murder cases,” Quader said.
Khandaker Mushtaq and Ziaur Rahman had started the politics of murder and conspiracy in the country in 1975 and their successor BNP is still continuing it, said the Awami League leader.
Expressing the determination to eradicate the politics of murder and conspiracy under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina, he said, “Our fight will continue until we make the country safe and livable for innocent children like Sheikh Russel.”
Awami League leaders and activists led by its general secretary placed wreaths on the grave of Sheikh Russel and offered munajat there.
