BNP wants to seize power through conspiracy: Quader

BNP is making false, misleading and imaginary remarks aiming to make the Election Commission formation law questionable, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has said.

He said BNP wants to seize state power through conspiracy and by making their foreign masters satisfied.

Quader made this comment at a press briefing at his official residence in Dhaka on Friday.

Fakhrul is making false, misleading and imaginary remarks aiming to make the law questionable, he said, adding that BNP has no faith in the laws and the Constitution of the country.

So, the road transport minister said, without the people’s mandate, the BNP wants to seize state power through conspiracy and by making their foreign masters satisfied.

About the BNP’s lobbyist hiring abroad, he said Mirza Fakhrul has admitted it and even sent letters to the political leaders and organisations of the US administration asking them to take action against Bangladesh.

“This is a matter of great shame for the nation,” Quader added.

Voicing concern over the statements of Fakhrul over the law on EC formation, he said Fakhrul is making mischievous statements to this end.

Qauder said the Fakhrul’s statements were nothing but a mockery to the country’s democracy, all parliament members, the Constitution and the rule of law as well.

Quader said, “The appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners Act-2022” will be considered as a unique milestone in the Bangladesh’s history in ensuring the people’s rights to vote.

“With the enactment of this law, Bangladesh will go one step ahead further to institutionalise democracy,” he told a press briefing at his official residence here.
