BNP wants to make Abrar murder an issue for movement, says Quader

Awami League (AL) general secretary Obaidul Quader said on Tuesday BNP does not want justice for Abrar Fahad murder rather the party wants to make an issue for movement, reports BSS.

"If BNP carries violence centring the Abrar Fahad murder incident, steps will be taken against them," he said.

The AL leader made the remarks while speaking at a press conference on contemporary issues at his office at the Secretariat.

Quader urged the BUET students to return to classes shunning demonstration programme as the university authorities have accepted their all demands.

The minister said the police have taken immediate actions after the murder incident. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina assured the parents of Abrar of quickly disposing of the murder case, he added.

Replying to a question, the minister said banning student politics cannot be a way of solution. But, the government has no objection to ban student politics on BUET campus, he said.

Quader said steps will be taken against those who will be found involved in wrongdoings.

The AL general secretary said party nomination will not be given to those councillors who will be found involved in corruption.

"We will not let the image of the Awami League government be tarnished due to wrongdoings of a few persons. Those who will patronise wrongdoers will not be spared," he said.

Quader said no controversial person will be allowed to be posted in the committee of Awami League from grassroots to central body.
