Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Friday said there is no scope to change the government without holding elections.
"If you want to change the government, another election will have to be held. There is scope to change the government without polls," he said in a press conference at the AL's Bangabandhu Avenue central office, reports BSS.
Quader, also the Road Transport and Bridges minister, said BNP leaders are spending their time relaxing, while the party workers who were brought to the field with hope are now disappointed.
"There is no such situation in the country that BNP workers will join its movement responding to the call of BNP leaders. In fact, BNP has now lost its ability to wage a movement," he added.
The AL general secretary said the country's people have no involvement with BNP and its movement, while they have trust in the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
"People of this country have accepted her (Sheikh Hasina) honesty and leadership. After 1975, no honest, hardworking and efficient leader was born in the country like her. So, the people of Bangladesh are with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina," he said.
Quader said responsible people should not make any embarrassing statements. "All of us responsible should refrain from making statements that are embarrassing for the government," he added.
AL organising secretaries BM Mozammel Haque and Afzal Hossain, Office Secretary Biplab Barua, Publicity and Publication Affairs Secretary Dr Abdus Sobhan Golap, and Deputy Office Secretary Sayem Khan were, among others, present at the press conference.
