‘Sheikh Hasina’s wisdom, integrity will help AL win next polls’

Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Sunday said the honesty, political wisdom and commitment of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina would act as the driving force for the party stalwarts to make the ruling Awami League victorious in the next general election.

The inherent leadership quality of Sheikh Hasina, acclaimed both at home and abroad, would thwart all sinister moves by vested quarters against the ongoing development spree and help the Awami League win the next election race to elevate Bangladesh to a new height, he said.

“Sheikh Hasina is one of the 5th honest statesmen among 173 countries …intrigues are still on against development,” Quader told a memorial meeting on former mayor of Chittagong Mohiuddin Chowdhury in the city’s Laldigi Maidan here, reports BSS.

The AL general secretary said massive development programmes had perplexed the vested quarters out to impede the democratic polity and current development activities.

Quader, also roads transport and bridges minister, urged all concerned to forge a united resistance against sinister forces in the next general polls.

Paying rich tribute to former Mayor of Chittagong City Corporation and President of city AL A B M Mohiuddin Chowdhury for his outstanding contributions to development and welfare of Chittagong, the minister said Mohiuddin had always faced bravely any politically odd situations.

“We have many things to learn from the prolonged political legacy of Mohiuddin Chowdhury that he left for the rank and file of AL”, the minister said.

Organized by Chittagong city, north and south districts of AL, the memorial meeting was addressed by Housing and Public Works Minister Engineer Mosharraf Hossain as special guest.
