BNP tastes half-defeat for failure to hold rally at Naya Paltan: Obaidul Quader

Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Friday said that BNP tasted a half-defeat in its movement when party leaders agreed to hold a public rally on Golapbagh field in the city.

"They (BNP leaders) said that the government is afraid of BNP. Those who (confidently) said that the rally will be held at Naya Paltan, are now at Golapbagh. So who is the loser? BNP or we? Half of the defeat in the movement is done here," he said.

Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, made the remarks while addressing a rally of Dhaka Metropolitan South Awami League at Natyamancha in the capital as the chief guest, reports BSS.

In response to the statement of the top leaders of BNP that they will hold the rally in Paltan, the AL general secretary said those who said these things are now in the Golapbagh field.

“They could not manage to hold a rally in Paltan and in continuation of that, their programmes of movement have also experienced half-defeat,” he added.

Noting that the game will be played against the evil forces of the country, the minister said: "I have given many concessions and no more concession from now on. The game will be played against those who swallowed the democracy of this country along with destroying the values of the Liberation War and banned the 'Joy Bangla' slogan."
