The street is not a property of any person or group

General Secretary of Awami League and Minister of Road Transport and Bridges Obaidul Quader said that the street is not the property of any person or party, the street is the property of the people, so it is the responsibility of the government to protect the property of the people.

He said these things in reference to the threat of BNP leaders to occupy the streets in a briefing at Setu Bhavan in the capital on Wednesday (03 August).

Mentioning that there is no use in threatening the brave leaders and activists of Awami League to occupy the streets, Obaidul Quader further said that the Awami League has come to the government through agitations and struggles on the streets.

He said, we (Awami League) have experience of sacrifices on the streets.

Commenting that not Awami League, but BNP has a history of escaping from Bangladesh, Obaidul Quader said that acting chairman of BNP, Tarek Rahman, is a convicted fugitive who has fled abroad on bond saying that he will not do politics. Awami League has no escape history.

Claiming that the roots of Awami League formed through movement and struggle are deeply connected to the soil and people of this country, he further said that no matter how many crises and conspiracies, Awami League will remain in this country.

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader warned the BNP leaders that if they again choose the path of arson and vandalism in the name of occupying the streets, a strong response will be given for the safety of people's life and property.
