Terming BNPs black-flag programme as illegal, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Wednesday warned that freestyle programmes of any party will not be tolerated without police permission.
"The BNPs black flag march is illegal. The government will not tolerate freestyle programmes of any political party without police permission," he said in a press briefing at the Awami League Presidents office in Dhanmondi on Wednesday.
In response to a query about the ruling partys nominations for the reserved seats for women in Parliament, Quader said, "The Awami League will prioritize tested and self-sacrificing leaders for the nomination to the women seats."
Quader, also the Road Transport and Bridges Minister, said no one has called the 12th national election flawed, not even the United States. "US Ambassador Peter Haas has congratulated the Prime Minister and met with some ministers, including the foreign minister." "The US ambassador was there from the start to the finish of the latest parliament session. Everyone has expressed an interest in working with us," he added.
The Minister said, "The government is taking action, not just talking. The government has started working on a strategy to regulate the price of commodities. The relevant ministries have received the necessary directives from the Prime Minister."
Prices will not become stable right away, he said, warning of action against whoever violates the law. Obaidul Quader, on Opposition Leader GM Quaders statement about parliament, asked why he came to parliament if it is not functional.
While expressing gratitude to the speaker, it seemed like GM Quader would take some major action, the Minister said. "He broke the rules when he talked," the AL General Secretary added.
