Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Saturday said if BNP members of parliament resign from the Jatiya Sangsad (JS), it will have no impact on the parliament, reports BSS.
He was addressing a public rally arranged by AL's Savar and Dhamrai upazila units in protest against “conspiracy and falsehood of BNP-Jamaat” at Savar Radio Colony School and College ground.
Quader said there are 350 seats in parliament and AL has huge majority in it.
"Jatiya Sangsad will not be paralysed if six to seven MPs resign. Rather, BNP will have to regret for such decision," he said.
The minister said when BNP was in power, the country became champion in corruption for five times.
The then prime minister Begum Khaleda Zia's son Tarique Rahman had introduced a reign of looting during the period, he added.
Noting that anti-liberation forces cannot be victorious in the month of victory, he said patron of anti-liberation forces will be defeated in movement too.
Speaking as the special guest, AL Presidium Member and Agriculture Minister Dr Muhammad Abdur Razzaque said there is no food deficit in the country as Bangladesh made huge progress in agriculture.
He said, “When the country is marching forward under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the anti-liberation force Jamaat-Shibir is hatching repeated conspiracies to halt the country's development trend
AL Presidium Member Jahangir Kabir Nanak said BNP-Jamaat is a terrorist organisation.
They wanted to create unrest in the country centering its public rally in the capital but their conspiracy has failed, he mentioned.
AL Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif said, "They (BNP MPs) have democratic rights to resign. But they will have to submit resignation letters to the Parliament Speaker, not at the rally. This announcement is merely a political stand of BNP," he said.
