Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Wednesday said the US has no headache over the BNP's demand for a caretaker government CG) to hold the next parliamentary elections, reports BSS.
"The US said they have no headache over caretaker government. They said elections should be held as per the constitution," he told a brief rally at Satrasta in the city's Tejgaon prior to a peace and development procession.
Dhaka City North AL arranged the rally protesting terrorism and anarchy of BNP.
Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said BNP leaders had expectations that their desires would be fulfilled when representatives of the US and the European Union would come.
But their joy turned pale hearing comments of the foreign representatives as their desires were not fulfilled, he said.
Pointing to BNP leaders, Quader urged them to join elections shunning the movement.
"We unequivocally ask BNP to join the polls before they will lose their respect. If they don't join polls, it will be their own issue. If they try to obstruct the polls, we along with the people will resist them," he said.
Noting that BNP sometimes forges alliance with 54 parties, sometimes with 36 parties and declared 27-point and again one-point movement, the minister said actually BNP's alliance is fake.
"The people don't want BNP's politics. BNP's jealousy is increasing gradually. Several hundred bridges were inaugurated in a single day. More bridges will be opened in next month. Padma Bridge and metro-rail have been inaugurated. Bangabandhu Tunnel beneath the Karnaphuli River will be opened".
"How will BNP obstruct these developments? So, BNP is spending sleepless nights," he said.
Quader said BNP didn't make any development during their government's regime. Witnessing the massive development works of the AL government, BNP has sensed what will be the results of the elections, he said.
"They are unhappy as they will lose the polls. That is why they carried out attacks on students in Bogura and Khagrachhari. They hurled crude bombs," he said.
