After coming out of a hole, BNP has started doing excessive centering the Supreme Court verdict that declared the 16th amendment to the constitution illegal, Quader said while addressing the programme at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh marking the National Mourning Day.

Claiming that the upcoming general election will be held in a free, fair and tangible manner, Quader said BNP will meet the severe setback in the voting politics and thus it has chosen the path of foreign level conspiracy.

He also called upon the party’s youth front leaders and activists to be united to pay the evil forces appropriately and said BNP along with Jamaat activists is planning to engage in politics of atrocities ahead of the 11th national election.

About political dialogue, Quader also a road transport and bridges minister said, “Khaleda Zia has hurt us by cutting cake to mark her fake birthday. On which ground, we will sit across the table with them?”
