Obaidul Quader, General Secretary of the Awami League, said today that a wild clutch of militancy advocates is emerging in the country who must be stopped at any costs.
"Through militancy, a vested quarter has begun to create instability in this country," he said at the opening ceremony of a month-long folk and craft exhibition and folk festival at Sonargaon in Narayanganj.
Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister added that after falling sick, BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir was admitted to hospital, questioning "Isn't this sickness a political illness?"
Why was he sent to the hospital after launching a movement program? Fakhrul has fallen sick after conducting poor politics".
The program was presided over by State Minister for Cultural Affairs KM Khalid, and speakers included Awami League culture affairs secretary Asim Kumar Ukil, prominent artist Hasem Khan, deputy commissioner Manzurul Hafiz and others.
