Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader today (April 15) sought the list of imprisoned BNP leaders, otherwise, BNP has to seek an apology to the nation for making falsehoods about the number of its imprisoned people.

He said: “The number of BNP’s captive leaders was 20,000 and how it becomes 60 lakh…so, reveal the list of 60lakh jailed activists, otherwise Mirza Fakhrul Islam must have to seek apology to the nation for his falsehood.”

Obaidul Quader also the Road Transport and Bridges Minister was briefing the journalists at Awami League President’s political office at Dhanmondi here this afternoon. 

Regarding the Mujibnagar Day on April 17, the ruling party leader said “It [April 17] is the oath day of the first government of the Independent Bangladesh …but BNP does not accept it.”

Even they refuse June 7, a red-letter day in the history of freedom movements of the people of Bangladesh and the nation has since been observing June 7 as the historic Six-Point Day, he said.

‘So, I never believe that BNP will do positive politics with the spirit of Bengali culture”, Quader added.

Sharply criticizing that the BNP was born to destroy the Spirit of the Liberation of Bangladesh, the road transport and bridges minister said they want to strike on the root of the land [Bangladesh]. “Suddenly one became an announcer of our independence through blowing a whistle and it was the role of BNP in 1971”, he said.
