BNP creating barrier on path of democracy: Quader

Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader has said BNP itself is creating artificial barrier on the path of the country’s democratic advancement.

Democracy in the country is repeatedly stumbling as BNP continues anti-election politics on the one hand and propaganda and conspiracy on the other, said Quader, also the Road Transport and Bridges Minister, while addressing a press conference on contemporary issues at his official residence on parliament premises.

About BNP’s allegation that the government is scripting the history of Liberation War as per its will, Quader said actually the anti-liberation forces under the leadership of BNP had distorted the country’s history.

But now the new generation has got the opportunity to know the true history of the country, including the Liberation War, as the AL government remains in power, he said.

The minister said nobody has the right to make questionable the settled issues of the Liberation War.

The AL general secretary said BNP is getting angered as the new generation is knowing who were the beneficiaries of the assassination of the super hero of the Liberation War Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman along with most of his family members, and who snatched away the rights of the people to seek trial of killers in the country.

He also said that BNP is the father of distorting the history of Independence of the country.
