‘Govt wants to hold the next nat’l polls in a free & fair manner’

Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has said the government wants to hold the next national election in a free and fair manner and those who will try to obstruct the election must be resisted.

The AL leader said this while talking to journalists after placing wreaths at the grave of National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam marking his 124th birth anniversary in Dhaka University campus on Thursday (May 25).

He said we will extend all-out support to the Election Commission in arranging a neutral election.

Responding to a question, the AL general secretary said, "We want to say it clearly that those who will set ablaze buses, ransack motor vehicles in the name of movement ahead of the national election are now resorting to political violence. They will be given a befitting reply."
