Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has advised party activists to not get carried away after their unprecedented victory in the 11th national parliamentary polls. He also told them to refrain from meting out vengeance against political opponents.
The Minister of Road and Bridges congratulated AL activists in his Noakhali district and relayed Premier Hasina’s instruction for them not to engage in any improper behavior.
“I am calling on you to follow our leader’s instructions. The prime minister says there should be no  marches. Be patient and show restraint in your celebrations. Do not take advantage of the situation. Do not behave badly with our political opponents.”
Quader also urged the activists to maintain the political tradition of his constituency. The AL general secretary said that even though some parts of the country had experienced violence, his constituency had not.
“I say to everyone, our constituency has a tradition of leaving the chaos of politics on the election field. Do not allow political rivalries and the reactions to them to affect your homes. I do not believe in a politics of animosity and revenge. Politics has its tides. Sometimes you are strong, at other times weak. Do not get carried away after seeing the results.”Obaidul Quader also thanked all those who had elected him.
