People’s trust is mainstay for government to remain in power: Quader
DHAKA, Oct 9, 2020 (BSS) – Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today said the government remains in power with people’s trust, not for anyone’s mercy.
“The government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is administering the country with people’s trust. Awami League’s root is very deep in this soil. It remains in power with people’s love,” he told a virtual press conference on contemporary issues from his official residence on parliament premises.
About BNP leaders’ allegation that the government is giving shelter to offenders, he said AL does not give shelter to offenders for remaining in power rather it is bringing criminals to justice.
Quader said the government is taking an initiative for making the death penalty as the highest punishment for rape.
At the directives of the prime minister, he said, amendment proposal in this regard will be placed in the cabinet meeting.
