Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said the city streets are not the ancestral property of any particular political party.
“The city streets are not the ancestral property of BNP but those belong to the people. The city streets are of Dhaka dwellers. Those are not given lease to any party.”
He was addressing the Lalbagh Thana unit of the Awami League council at Lalbagh’s Nababganj Park in the capital.
The Road Transport and Bridges Minister said BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir threatened that the city streets would now remain under the BNP’s control.
He warned if the BNP men want to create anarchy in the name of movement, Awami League leaders and activists will not remain idle.
Quader alleged that BNP hired some people to wage a movement but they no will longer stay on the streets.
There was a hotchpotch situation of a 20-party alliance during the last general elections and now the BNP leaders are uttering hollow words, he added.
If Sheikh Hasina does not remain in power, Bangladesh will no longer exist, he added.
