Drive won't spare any wrongdoer: Quader

NARAYANGANJ, Oct 19 (BSS): Road Transport and Bridges Minister and Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader today said all wrongdoers will be brought under trial through the ongoing cleansing drive.

"All accused in the BUET student Abrar killing case have been arrested as per Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's directive. They have not been spared, although they were Bangladesh Chhatra League leaders and activists… those under surveillance will be brought under trial through the ongoing cleansing drive," he said.

Quader said this while replying to queries from journalists after visiting the renovation work of the approach road of the Meghna Bridge at Meghna Ghat here.

Noting that Awami League (AL) does not want hostile relations with the opposition parties, he said, "We want opposition parties to play constructive and responsible role in parliament. We are tolerant to them".

BNP is observing different political programmes without any barrier and they (party leaders) are speaking inside and outside parliament at their sweet will, the AL general secretary said, adding that it has been possible only because the Sheikh Hasina government is in office.
