Aren't human rights violated through rapes every day in US: Quader

Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader criticized the United States on human rights issues and said that when the police are attacked, when the police are beaten and lie on the ground, where does human rights go? What are human rights?

Addressing the United States, he said, 'Women are being raped every day in your country, isn't it a violation of human rights?

He made these remarks while addressing as the chief guest at the triennial conference of the District Committee of Awami League at the Manikganj Government High School field on Sunday afternoon. 

Awami League General Secretary announced the name of freedom fighter Golam Mohiuddin as president of Manikganj district Awami League and freedom fighter Abdus Salam as general secretary during the conference. 

Regarding the resignation of seven MPs of BNP, Obaidul Quader said, 'There is no reason to think that if seven of you resign from the national parliament, the parliament will be inactive. BNP must repent for this mistake.'
