Quader castigates Fakhrul for presenting distorted info
Thursday, 5 October 2023
Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Wednesday strongly condemned and protested BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir's remarks over the country's existing law and judicial process, reports BSS.
"BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir presented false and distorted information over the country's legal matters before the nation," he said in a statement.
Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, said Fakhrul and other BNP leaders are out to make ill-efforts to mislead the nation by making limitless falsehood over the party chief Begum Khaleda Zia's illness.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina showed the highest generosity and liberalism to graft case convict Begum Khaleda Zia allowing her to stay at her home and take advanced treatment from the country's most modern hospital in an executive order postponing her jail term.
Showing such generosity to a convict is a rare example not only in Bangladesh but also in the entire world, he mentioned.
Fakhrul not is only undermining the generosity showed by the Premier but also they are making irresponsible and inciting comments over the country's law, justice and constitution.
Without following proper legal procedures, BNP is carrying out evil attempts to fish in troubled water capitalizing on Khaleda's illness to gain political interest.
About Fakhrul's allegation of showing political vengeance and pushing opposition towards death, Quader said according to the historical accounts, BNP founder military dictator Ziaur Rahman was involved in the assassination of Bangabandhu along with most of his family members on August 15, 1975.
Even Zia had turned the Indemnity Ordinance into an act to provide Bangabandhu killers legal security and not only that, killers were rewarded by giving jobs at foreign missions.
Following Zia's footprints, his widow Begum Zia had also put Bangabandhu killers-Rashid and Huda to parliament in the voter less polls of February 15, 1996, he mentioned.
Killer Khairuzzaman was reinstated to his job at the foreign ministry and recruited as an ambassador after giving promotion, he said.
Begum Zia continued the trend of BNP's political vengeance by celebrating her fake birthday on the martyrdom anniversary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and National Mourning Day on August 15.
Political vengeance and nasty mentality of killing political opponents are traditionally BNP's philosophy, he mentioned.
