Abrar Hussain: Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has assured that the next parliamentary election will be held in time amid festive mood, alleging that those who failed to depoliticize the country during 1/11 are the ones who are saying that elections would not be held.
Quader, also the General Secretary of ruling Awami League, said this yesterday in response to a query by journalists while he was speaking at a Janmashtami rally in Palashi in the capital yesterday.
“Next parliamentary session will be the last parliament session and after this no parliament member will have any official power. There is no question about this,” he said Quader, who was chief guest at the rally, as reported by The Daily Star.
Quader also warned the Hindu community not to get trapped in the attempt to create communal polarization in the name of national unity. He further reminded the Hindu community of the 2001 period when “BNP communal forces came into power” and warned that the situation will be worse if they come back into power again.
