The government is working to control the price of goods, the results will come some time. Obaidul Quader, Minister of Road Transport and Bridges and General Secretary of Awami League commented that there is no lack of sincerity and effort in work.
He said this at a press briefing at the party's central office at 23 Bangabandhu Avenue in the capital on Friday (March 15).
Obaidul Quader said in response to a question about commodity prices not yet being controlled, is the government in action here or not? It is working; the result will come some time. There is no shortage of sincerity and effort in work. The market situation in the whole world including Bangladesh is not good anywhere in the world. There is no reason to think that everything in the world is as cheap as ever. Market conditions across the globe have been negatively affected. Its impact will also fall in Bangladesh. The whole world is now a global village. Now there is no reason to be immune to the effects of rising global market prices.
Awami League General Secretary said that if anybody wants to change the government, then another election will be required for that change. There is no change of government without elections. This is the rule in democracy.
Stating that the BNP leaders and workers are spending their holidays in comfort, he said that the workers who had brought them to the field with the hope that the power is very close are now disappointed all over the country. It is not the case that BNP workers will protest by calling the leaders. In one word, BNP is now losing its ability to organize.
Obaidul Quader said that the people are not with BNP, they are not in the movement. They are happy with the government of Sheikh Hasina. People are confident in the leadership of the Prime Minister. People of this country have accepted her honesty and leadership. After 75, no honest, hardworking, efficient leader was born in the country. So the people of Bangladesh are with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Regarding the various critical statements of the ministers, he said, whoever gives any embarrassing statement, the responsible people should talk about their responsibilities. All our officials should refrain from making statements that are embarrassing for the government.
Stating that the syndicate will be broken, the Bridges minister also said that it remains to be seen who is involved with it. Those who have failed in the movement, this syndicate should see whether it is due to opposition to the government or not. Efforts are being made to stop transport extortion. Administratively, everyone is working under the instructions of the Prime Minister so that it can be brought under control.
Organizing Secretary BM Mozammel Haque, Afzal Hossain, Office Secretary Biplab Barua, Publicity Secretary Abdus Sobhan Golap, Deputy Office Secretary Sayem Khan and others were also present.
