Don`t play with fire: Quader warns BNP

Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader warned BNP not to play with fire.

The AL leader said this while addressing a meeting held with the AL central leaders of Dhaka city north and south units of the party and its affiliated bodies at the AL central office on Bangabandhu Avenue on Tuesday (May 31).

He said if BNP wants to create anarchy on the streets in the name of movement, it would be handled with an iron hand.

"Chhatra Dal has been sent to field threatening to kill Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina...everything has an end. Mirza Fakhrul, don't play with fire. If you play with fire, its consequences will not be good," he added.

AL presidium members Colonel (Retd) Faruk Khan, Dr Abdur Razzaque and Jahangir Kabir Nanak, joint general secretaries Mahbubul Alam Hanif, Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud and AFM Bahauddin Nasim, organising secretary Ahmad Hossain, Afzal Hossain and Mirza Azam, liberation war affairs secretary Mrinal Kanti Das, office secretary Biplob Barua, relief and social welfare secretary Sujit Roy Nandi and science and technology affairs secretary Abdur Sabur were, among others, present at the meeting.
