BNP leaders suffering from mental trauma: Quader

Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Sunday said BNP leaders are making absurd comments as they are suffering from mental trauma.

He said this while replying to a question after joining a programme in a city hotel. About BNP leaders claims that AL men also didn’t cast their votes in elections, Quader said, “This claim of BNP is not true.”

The Election Commission announced that 30-40 per cent of votes were cast in the upazila polls, while 42 per cent of voters exercised their franchise in the national polls, reports BSS. 

If 42 per cent of people cast their votes, then how will voters boycott polls, Quader questioned.

"Actually, BNP leaders are suffering from mental trauma. That is why they are making absurd comments in free style. Their comments are not realistic,” he said.

Asked about BNP’s fresh preparation to wage movement, the AL general secretary said BNP has the right to wage movement as a political party.

“If BNP wages movement in a peaceful manner, we will face them politically,” he said.

But if they carry out arson attacks or make sabotage likewise the past in the name of movement, the government will take actions accordingly, and AL will also face them politically, he said.
