Speaking at a press conference at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office, party senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi also said Quader made such remarks out of heartburn for having failed to split BNP.
“Obaidul Quader is now very concerned over BNP as he is saying it may face split or meet the fate of Muslim League. His affection for BNP is very strange. His remarks have given an impression that aunt's affection is greater than mother,” he said.
Rizvi claimed there is no division within BNP as the party’s all leaders and activists remain united under the leadership of its chairperson Khaleda Zia and acting chairman Tarique Rahman. “I would like to remind Mr Quader that cow does not die if it’s cursed by a vulture.”
He said it is Awami League which has internally collapsed and weakened and with the divisions of different groups and streams. “That’s why the party couldn’t dare hold a fair election depending on its leaders and activists. The party instead stuffed ballots in the dark of night using police.”
The BNP leader warned that Awami League will not find any one to light a lamp at its office when it will lose the power of police.
