news desk: Claiming that Awami League does not believe in the politics of revenge, Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Wednesday said BNP is the father of such politics.

“The August of 1975 gives testimony that who does the politics of revenge. The August 21 grenade attack proves who does the politics of revenge,” he told a press briefing at the Setu Bhaban in capital Dhaka.

Quader, also the Road Transport and Bridges Minister, said the name of the AL is the name of the efforts to move forward together against the BNP’s politics of revenge.

Bangabandhu’s daughter, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, rushed to the BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia’s house to express sympathy over the grief of losing Khaleda Zia’s son as the AL president wanted to create a trend of liberal politics, he said.

Reminding the BNP leaders of such kindness, the AL general secretary questioned, “Did you remember how inhumanly behaviours you showed then?”
