Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has said that BNP will face a long-term consequence for its mistake of abstaining from the 7 January national election.

“I am surprised that despite being granted bail on health grounds, Mirza Fakhrul, using crutches, went to hold a meeting with the visiting US delegation to complain against the country. BNP believes in the politics of filing complaints. Thus, the party will have to pay for a long time,” he said, reports Daily Sun.

Obaidul Quader was exchanging views with local reporters in Daganbhuyan of Feni while en route to his native village in Noakhali on Monday.
