Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Wednesday said it is time for Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) to quit politics due to its continuous negative attitude to politics and elections, reports BSS.
"The BNP's failure plunged Bangladesh into extreme uncertainty and distress. They (BNP leaders) failed to run the government and set an instance of showing extreme irresponsibility as an opposition party," he said in a statement.
Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said now time has come for BNP, not for the AL government, to leave politics due to its negative politics and negligence to elections.
"We want to say firmly that there is no scope of changing the incumbent government without polls," he said.
The AL general secretary said the source of AL's power is the country's people and the owner of power is almighty Allah.
He said the people never believe the statements of a political party like the BNP, which is isolated from the public.
For the past 14 years, Quader said, the BNP leaders have been continuously calling for movements but the people did not respond to their call yet.
He said the people did not forget the plight and misrule they experienced during the BNP's era in the past.
The AL general secretary said BNP and its allies are holding meetings and rallies every day but they are alleging that they are not being allowed to do so and being deprived of their political rights.
"In fact, it is the common practice of the BNP to blame the government aiming to hide its failures and misdeeds," he said.
The nature of the BNP's undemocratic politics, hidden in packet of falsehood, is now clear to the people, Quader said.
