Awami League (AL)
general secretary and road transport and bridges minister Obaidul Quader today
said the prices of essential commodities will be brought under control soon
through multifaceted measures.
"If the people
face any crisis, it hurts Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The holy month of
Ramadan is ahead, we will bring prices of commodities under control soon. Don't
lose your trust (in us). Don't pay any heed to BNP," he said.
Quader was addressing a
peace and democracy rally in front of the AL's Bangabandhu Avenue central
office here under the arrangement of the party's Dhaka City South unit.
Dhaka City South AL
President Abu Ahmed Mannafi chaired the rally which was conducted by its general
secretary Humayun Kabir.
AL presidium members Dr
Muhammad Abdur Razzaque, Dr Mostafa Jalal Mohiuddin and Advocate Qamrul Islam,
joint general secretaries- Foreign Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud and Mahbubul Alam
Hanif and organizing secretary BM Mozammel Haque also spoke.
Noting that AL won the
12th parliamentary elections gaining massive votes of the people, Quader said
the new government has been formed through the election which saw 41.8 percent
voter turnout while twenty-eight parties contested polls, he said.
Coming down heavily on
BNP leaders for terming that the government belongs to China, India and Russia,
the minister said these countries can be friends of Awami League but no foreign
force brings the party in power rather the people do so.
There is suspicion
about the patriotism of those who (BNP leaders) make such comment that the
government belongs to other countries, he said.
Quader described BNP's
black-flag procession programme on January 30 as a fake one as black-flag means
mourning.
He urged his party men to remain alert in field so that BNP leaders and activists cannot make harm to people in the name of political programme.
The AL general
secretary called upon the party leaders and workers to join "peace,
democracy and development" rally holding national flags in hand on that
day.
In his address, Abdur
Razzaque questioned to whom BNP will show black flags. He suggested that BNP
should show black flags to those leaders of the party whose programmes have
failed.
"BNP did every
heinous act in order to thwart the elections but the elections have been held
in a successful and peaceful manner overcoming all local and foreign conspiracies,"
he said.
Advocate Qamrul Islam
said different countries and global forums are giving their support in favor of
the AL government.
Prime Minister Sheikh
Hasina's government is marching forward with a vow to build a Smart Bangladesh,
he added.
He said BNP should
admit it's wrongdoings to the people to return to politics again or it should
quit politics.
Dr Hasan Mahmud said
the people have already shown black flag to BNP by giving their mandate to
Awami League.
Different heads of
states and governments are extending congratulations to Sheikh Hasina as the
people of Bangladesh voted her to power, he said.
Even foreigners didn't
respond to BNP's programme, he added.
Mahbubul Alam Hanif
said it doesn't matter if any party boycotts an election. The people's
participation has proven that BNP's all conspiracies have foiled, he said.
"The people of Bangladesh want development and elimination of the evil force (BNP)," he added.
