QUADER-BNP-CRITICISM-2-LAST DHAKA
He said the country had witnessed the gruesome, stigmatized and brutal assassinations of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members 45 years back on August 15.
In continuation of August 15 carnage, grisly grenade attacks were carried out to assassinate the then Leader of the Opposition, incumbent Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina, daughter of Bangabandhu, on August 21 in 2004, he added.
The minister said because of the premier’s able leadership and directives since the outset of the coronavirus outbreak in the country, the crisis could not worsen to a big extent.
Turning to flood situation, Quader said the government has taken effective measures from the very beginning, reaching adequate relief goods, ensuring health facilities and preparing flood shelter centers while AL leaders and workers also stood beside the flood victims.
Sheikh Hasina’s government, he said, is making all-out strides for the welfare of the nation and attaining successes in every sector, so a quarter has become jealous.
AL Presidium member Advocate Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Joint General Secretary AFM Bahauddin Nasim and Health Affairs Secretary Dr Rokeya Sultana addressed the function, among others, with Krishak League President Agriculturalist Samir Chanda in the chair.
Krishak League General Secretary Umme Kulsum Smiriti moderated it.
