Obaidul Quader cancels Muktijoddha Projonmo League’s function
The Muktijoddha Projonmo League organised its founding anniversary programme at the Awami League central office premises at Bangabandhu Avenue in the capital on Saturday.
However, while speaking at a meeting of the party’s presidium at the central office, Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader directed the concerned people to remove the Projonmo League’s podium from the road.
Speaking at the meeting, Obaidul Quader said, “I’ve heard some time ago that a parasite organisation, called, ‘Awami Muktijoddha Projonmo League’ has organised its founding anniversary programme. We’ve no objection to the generation of freedom-fighters. But when any organisation uses the words ‘league’ and ‘Awami,’ with their names, then we can’t remain silent. It’s the question of our image, because there are many people who open such shops just for extortion. These are the organisations which mainly get indulge in extortion.”
The Awami League general secretary said, “I won’t say that all the organisations get involve in extortion. But there are some organisation which depend on extortion. They usually do extortion using the party’s name. So, I’ll urge all the central leaders of our party not to attend the meetings of these organisations in any way
