Communications Minister of the polls-time cabinet Obaidul Quader on Thursday said Awami League will not allow Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to quit.
“It’s our party decision, it was decided in the meeting of Awami League Central Working Committee (ALCWC) on Wednesday,” he said while talking to reporters at the secretariat on Thursday.
About Jatiya Party Chairman HM Ershad’s decision not to participate in the 10th parliamentary polls, he said it is still uncertain as anything may happen anytime. “We’ll wait until December 13 as it is the last date for withdrawal of candidature,” Obaidul Quader said.
“The opposition alliance is carrying out a movement in Afghan style. They’ve announced a fresh blockade programme through a video message from an unknown location and this blockade will also claim more lives,” the minister said.
He alleged that the opposition alliance has announced an undeclared war against the people of the country.
Quader said if 18-party leaders were in the field they could control their activists and stop the killings and sabotage.
He said the government is moving towards the election and it will hold the election.
