Govt to deal with country’s internal issues, not foreign diplomats: Quader

Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has said that it is the government which will solve the country's internal issues, and foreign diplomats have to abide by the rules of the Geneva Convention in this regard.

The minister said this while talking to reporters at his Ministry’s conference room at the secretariat on Monday.

“Foreign diplomats will not bring anyone to power, the country’s people will. Foreign diplomats must follow the Geneva Convention when they talk about the internal affairs of our country. It’s the government who will solve the country’s problems, not them,” Quader said.

Quader added that the government does not promote terrorist activities like torching vehicles and shops.

“We’re always alert to prevent any kind of terrorism. We’ll take the necessary steps if anyone creates chaos and suffering for people. Law enforcement agencies are always active to tackle violence,” Quader added.
