Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has said the BNP is becoming weak organisationally day by day for adopting ill-strategy avoiding pro-people politics.

"As a political party, the BNP cannot introduce any new dimension to mass politics. So, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir consistently reiterates the same remarks in the media. He continually presents fake and baseless stories of repression and torture," he stated in a statement.

Quader said the BNP has adopted a new ill-strategy for concealing their failure in calling any pro-people political programme. The party leaders are making evil efforts to get sympathy by presenting them as repressed and tortured, he said.

"Because of such evil strategy, the BNP is becoming organisationally weak day by day," he said.

The AL general secretary said the Awami League remains in power with the people's mandate. Different countries and originations and their leaders congratulated successful statesman Sheikh Hasina for her election as the premier for the fifth time and recognised her government, he said.

The BNP, which is currently grappling with an existential crisis and approaching political bankruptcy, is now discussing the government's survival," he said.

Noting that the BNP is an artificially created political party, the AL general secretary said the BNP always makes evil efforts to create artificial political crisis through presenting fake, fabricated and politically motivated remarks.

Quader said that the BNP should realise that it is the government's responsibility to work on controlling anti-state activities, not the opposition party.

So, keeping own party leaders and workers away from anti-state and terrorist activities will be better for the BNP, he said.

Quader said the people's democratic rights remain protected at the hands of the Awami League. On the other hand, the people don't forget the misrule, corruption and looting of the BNP government, he said.

During the tenure of the BNP, the entire country became a safe haven of terrorism and militancy, said Quader.

The people don't want to return to the dark days, the AL general secretary said.
