Staff Correspondent: Dhaka, Jul-28,
Bangladesh Awami League does not tolerate any
intruder in the party and acts promptly if anyone is found guilty of
irregularity and violating organisational disciple, the party’s General
Secretary Obaidul Quader said on Wednesday.
“We have never tolerated irregularities and will
never do so,” Quader said at a press briefing at his residence.
Describing Awami League as a huge political
organization, from the centre to the grassroots, he said that the party takes
immediate action if “intruders” are sometimes found to create trouble.
"We have set the example by taking action not
only organizationally but also legally in recent times. The party has been very
tough in many cases, including actions taken against Shahed and Papia," he
said.
Referring to the strict actions against the party
leaders and activists and even the people's representatives for alleged
irregularities and corruption, Quader said no ruling party dared to set this
type of example before the Awami League.
He said that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government
and the Awami League have already made clear their tough stance against
irregularities and corruption. There are cases either ongoing or under
investigation filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission against many members of
the party, he noted.
Quader, also the Roads Transport and Bridges
Minister, said the government is giving top priority to the protection of human
life considering the fact that the Covid fatality rate in Bangladesh is now
higher than in neighbouring India.
He said that every unit of the Awami League is
playing a very active role at this time of the Covid crisis and helping people.
