A big party doesn't own Liberation War: Quader

Awami League (AL) general secretary Obaidul Quader said on Tuesday a big political party of the country does not own the Liberation War but uses it in the election manifesto to woo the voters, reports BSS.

"Those who don't accept the settled issues of the Liberation War, including the historic March 7 and April 17, will be condemned in history," he said.

The AL leader made the comments while talking to journalists after placing wreaths at the portrait of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in the city's Dhanmondi-32 marking the historic Mujibnagar Day.

AL presidium members Begum Matia Chowdhury and Abdul Matin Khasru, organising secretaries Ahmed Hossain and Enamul Haque Shamim, information and research secretary Afzal Hossain, office secretary Dr Abdus Sobhan Golap and relief and social welfare secretary Sujit Roy Nandi, among others, were present.

Earlier, Obaidul Quader placed a wreath at the portrait of Bangabandhu on behalf of Awami League President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
