Momen's India remarks have no link with AL: Quader

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Friday said the Awami League has never requested India to provide the party with support to stay in power.

"The Awami League has never requested India to provide support to us to stay in power and no one has been given responsibility by Sheikh Hasina to say it. This may be one's personal opinion," he said.

He said this after inaugurating the central Janmashtami procession at Plassey intersection in Dhaka.

Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said that there were no communal attacks except for a few isolated incidents after Sheikh Hasina's government came to power.

Those who attacked the Hindu community were miscreants, he added.
