No more power usurpation through arson attack: Quader

Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader said on Wednesday gone are the days to assume the state power through arson terrorism and bombing as the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) would be resisted on the street, reports BSS.
"There will be a game in the next election. The game will be played on the street. We will face them (BNP)," he told a protest rally here.
The Dhaka South and North units of the AL jointly organised the rally at Suhrawardy Udyan, protesting the series bomb attack carried out across the country during the BNP-Jamaat regime on August 17 in 2005.
Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said the BNP got frustrated after forming a "so-called unity" before the last national elections and it will experience the same this time too.
He recalled that the AL was not born at gun point rather it emerged from the streets.
About the BNP's complaints submitted to the United Nations, the AL general secretary said the United Nations has no jurisdiction to this end. He blamed that it is the BNP's tradition to lodge complaints to foreigners.
Pointing at BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, AL presidium member Jahangir Kabir Nanak Nanak said the BNP has no ability to do anything in Bangladesh.
Chaired by Dhaka North City AL president Sheikh Bazlur Rahman, the meeting was also addressed, among others, by AL presidium members Begum Matia Chowdhury, Dr Abdur Razzaque, Abdur Rahman and Advocate Kamrul Islam, joint general secretary AFM Bahauddin Nasim, organising secretaries Ahmad Hossain, Mirza Azam and SM Kamal Hossain, Dhaka South City AL president Abu Ahmad Mannafi, Dhaka North City AL general secretary SM Mannan Kochi and Dhaka South City AL general secretary Humayun Kabir.
