BNP leaders suffer from mental trauma: Quader

Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said BNP leaders are making absurd comments, as they are suffering from mental trauma.

He said this while replying to a question after joining a program in a hotel in the capital.

About BNP leaders claim that AL men also didn’t cast their votes in elections, Quader said, “This claim of BNP is not true.”

The Election Commission announced that 30-40 percent votes were cast in the upazila polls while 42pc voters exercised their franchise in the national polls.

If 42 percent of people cast their votes, then how do voters boycott polls, he questioned.

“Actually BNP leaders are suffering from mental trauma. That is why, they are making absurd comments in free style. Their comments are not realistic,” he said.

Asked about BNP’s fresh preparation for wage movement, the AL general secretary said BNP has right to wage movement as a political party.

“If BNP wages movement in a peaceful manner, we will face them politically,” he said. But if they carry out arson attack or make sabotage likewise the past in the name of the movement, the government will take actions accordingly and AL will also face them politically, he said.
