BNP stands against religious sentiment: Quader

Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has said BNP has taken stance against the people's religious sentiment and values by declaring to continue programme during the month of Ramadan.

“Ramadan is a month of self-restraint. But BNP leaders declared to continue their programme in this month. By doing so, BNP took stance against people's religious sentiment and values,” he said in a statement on Tuesday.

Quader said BNP's programme during the month of Ramadan will cause people's sufferings.

It means, BNP doesn't want people's comfort by any means, he said, adding that BNP will further become isolated from people by announcing programme during Ramadan.

He said BNP has been making their evil attempts to destroy the country's constitutional and democratic trend through their so-called anti-government movement for more than an era.

Quader said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government has been working for the wellbeing of the people. The government is making its all-out efforts as the people don't have to face any hassle during the month of Ramadan, he said.

Awami League always stays beside people and it will do so in future too, he said.
