QUADER-DIGITAL-BANGLADESH
BNP does not want Digital Bangladesh: Quader
NILPHAMARI, Jan 11, 2020 (BSS) – Awami League General Secretary and Road
Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today said BNP does not want
Digital Bangladesh as they cannot tolerate the country’s development.
He was addressing a winter clothes distribution programme at Five Star
ground at Saidpur upazila in the district.
About the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs) in the Dhaka city
polls, Quader said they will accept any decision of the Election Commission
in this regard as “we have no fear”.
The AL general secretary said elections using EVMs is a modern system. But
as election date is approaching, BNP raises questions over EVM and neutrality
of poll, he added.
Quader said BNP does not do pro-people politics rather it performs
politics for the looters or millionaires.
“BNP has public support neither in election nor in movement,” he said.
The minister said the government led by Bangabandhu’s daughter Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina is a government for the poor people. The government
always stands beside people in their well and woes, he added.
The AL general secretary said BNP does not stand beside people, who suffer
in cold or flood rather they make complaints staying in Dhaka.
Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi, State Minister for Relief and Disaster
Management Dr Md Enamur Rahman, AL Joint General Secretary AFM Bahauddin
Nasim, Rabeya Alim, MP, District unit AL president Dewan Kamal Ahmed and
General Secretary Mamtajul Haque, addressed the function, among others.
AL Organizing Secretary BM Mozammel Haque presided over the function.
According to party sources, around 50,000 blankets will be distributed in
Rangpur division under the auspices of AL.
The AL general secretary handed over the blankets among the district unit
leaders for distribution while he also distributed 3,000 blankets among cold-
hit people on the occasion.
