It’s not a victory march, rather it’s a defeat march

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader

Awami League General Secretary and Road, Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has called BNP’s nationwide road march program “a march towards defeat.”

While Obaidul Quader addressing the Awami League (AL) rally today July 18 in front of the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB), he said, “Mirza Fakhrul called Tuesday’s BNP march a ‘victory march.’ What victory? Their march was, in fact, a march towards defeat, a journey of decline. It is not a victory march, rather it is a defeat march,”

He said, “What did BNP get from the European Union delegation? Did they get a caretaker government? Or Sheikh Hasina’s resignation? Or the resignation of the government? BNP got nothing.

He added that “BNP thought that they would get a caretaker government from the USA  and that the USA would tell us to have dialogue with them. The Americans came and went. What did BNP get? They didn’t get diddly-squat.

Obaidul Quader mentioned that Sheikh Hasina will perform her duties as the Prime Minister during elections as is the norm in other democracies of the world. There won’t be any caretaker government. Parliament will not be dissolved, and there’s no question of Sheikh Hasina’s resignation.

He called upon the BNP and its affiliates to follow the constitution, and said, “Awami League does not bow down to anyone. Our one-point is the constitution of Bangladesh. We will apply what is written in the constitution. That’s how the election will be held. No matter what you do, we won’t move an inch away from that.”
