BNP trying to capitalise on quota reform movement: Quader

Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader on Tuesday alleged that Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is trying to cash in on the quota reform movement after failing to wage an agitation of its own, reports UNB.

"Their (BNP's) daydream of going to power by using the student community after failing to launch any movement won't be fulfilled," he said while talking to reporters after a meeting with the authorities concerned in Gazaria of Munshiganj to ensure smooth journey on the Dhaka-Chattogram highway during the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha.

Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, said the country's people now do not trust BNP. "They're doing a nasty politics over the jail life and sickness of Khaleda Zia which is now evident to people."

About the traffic jam, the minister said from the next year, there will be no traffic congestion on the Dhaka- Chattogram highway.
