Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader said on Wednesday Bangladesh is a liberal democratic country and its democratic system has been consolidated under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
“The incumbent government led by Bangabandhu’s daughter is working to establish the people’s ruling in line with the country’s constitution and laws. All the activities of the government are being conducted in keeping with the hopes and aspirations of the people,” he said in a statement.
Quader, also the Road Transport and Bridges minister, said BNP was born at the hands of military dictator Ziaur Rahman, who assumed power illegally at gun point, and secretary general of that party Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has confused the democratic system with the monarchy for the lust for power.
Even Mirza Fakhrul has lost the minimum knowledge of understanding about the difference between the monarchy and democratic system of government, he said.
The AL general secretary said Fakhrul and other BNP leaders, who are kneeling to kill Tarique Rahman, are chanting the mantra of monarchy in a subconscious mind after being held hostage to the clan system.
They (BNP leaders) have been trying to impose their own helplessness and subjugation on the common people, he said.
Quader said the dream of Digital Bangladesh that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina showed to the country’s people is now a visible reality.
Claiming that Digital Bangladesh was established under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, he said that the Digital Security Act was enacted in many countries to ensure digital security apart from ensuring the security of information stored on digital platforms.
