Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister, Obaidul Quader, today said that the true nature of the BNP-Jamaat alliance has been exposed through the quota reform movement. He accused them of attempting to turn the entire student community against the government.
At a press conference held at the Awami League President’s office in Dhanmondi this afternoon, Quader warned that the government will not tolerate any public suffering in the name of the quota reform movement. “Any malevolent forces will be firmly resisted,” he asserted.
“We had long suspected that the quota reform movement was a guise for an anti-government agitation,” Quader said, adding that the movement has involvement and open support from BNP-Jamaat and other opposition parties. “This became evident last night through their anti-liberation war slogans.”
The minister further said that expressing opinions on matters under judicial consideration is tantamount to contempt of court.
“Chhatra League would take action against self-proclaimed razakars on campus,” he said, condemning slogans related to razakar identities as an affront to national fundamental values.
