Are you afraid of laundered money, Quader asks Fakhrul

PBC News:  About BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir’s remarks on the government’s plan to bring back laundered money to Bangladesh, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said bringing the laundered money back to the country is a good initiative.

Asking a question to the BNP secretary-general, the AL general secretary said why Fakhrul gets irritated when he hears about the laundered money is going to be brought back to the country.

“Why you (Fakhrul) are so afraid? After hearing your statement, questions have arisen in the minds of the people. But are you afraid of returning your laundered money?” he questioned.

The AL general secretary made the remarks at a press conference at his official residence in Dhaka on Monday.

Obaidul Quader, also Road Transport and Bridges Minister, said the BNP leaders’ mega falsehood about the country’s mega projects have raised questions about their mental health.

“As the BNP leaders, who did not dream of implementing any mega project in the country during their reign, make mega falsehood about megaprojects, the question of their mental health has arisen in the people’s minds,” he said.

Quader said the country’s people have realised that the jealous BNP does not hesitate to cause harm to it aiming to halt the country’s development.

Recently, he said, BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir made comments on the number of metro rail stations.

The BNP leaders, who are skilled in looting and plundering public money, find only the smell of money without considering the welfare of the people, he added.

Quader said as the Awami League is in power, the BNP is being deprived of looting public money and prosperities. “That’s why Mirza Fakhrul is upset.”

“The BNP leaders are upset for various reasons…because Padma Bridge is going to be inaugurated. Metro rail and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Karnaphuli tunnel are being constructed and that’s why they are upset,” the minister said.
