There is neither any conflict nor any tension in the Awami League-led Grand Alliance, said AL General Secretary Obaidul Quader yesterday.

Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, came up with the comment while speaking at a preparatory meeting on Saturday's grand rally of the Awami League to celebrate its victory in the 11th general election.

"The grand alliance is a unity forged to participate in the election while the 14-party is a political combine which will prevail and there's no chance of collapse," said the minister.

There is no infighting, tension, and disturbance in the alliance, said the senior AL leader, adding, "If there's any misunderstandings, we'll solve it through discussions.

"If the political alliance plays a role of the opposition in parliament and holds constructive discussions, it'll be better for the government to correct its mistakes, if any."
