The ruling Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader today said programmes like the anti-quota movement that cause public suffering should be avoided.
Quader said he spoke with prime minister over the anti-quota movement and teachers’ movement against their inclusion in the universal pension scheme yesterday.
“The matter is under trial in the highest court of the country. We have to wait till the High Court verdict. We think the High Court will deliver its verdict after taking the real scenario into cognizance,” said the AL second-in-command.
Quader alleged that some political issues have been added to the movement.
Awami League Joint General Secretaries Mahbub Ul Alam Hanif, AFM Bahauddin Nashim, Organising Secretaries BM Mozammel Haque, SM Kamal Hossain, Sujit Roy Nandi, Office Secretary Biplab Barua, Science and Technology Affairs Secretary Abdus Sabur were present at the briefing among others.
