BNP's golden jubilee celebration a political ploy: Quader

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Sunday said the celebration of golden jubilee of independence by the BNP is nothing but a political ploy, reports BSS.

"The golden jubilee celebration marking 50th years of independence of the country by the BNP is nothing but a political strategy of the party," he said.

Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, made this comment while talking to journalists after placing wreath at the portrait of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Dhanmondi Road-32 in the morning marking the historic 7th March.

Quader said those who once had imposed restriction on 7 March speech have now come forward to celebrate the golden jubilee of the independence by taking refuge to political tactics.

"It is nothing but a political strategy of the BNP," he said.

The minister pledged to build a 'Sonar Bangla' by defeating evil political forces.
