Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader today (December 30) said the BNP has taken the path of sabotage after failing in regular movement.

He said: "We are getting news that messages are being sent from London instructing to carry out assassinations, if necessary. They (BNP) are getting prepared to initiate more dangerous sneak attacks. We call upon all to remain alert to this end."

He was addressing a press conference at AL President's Dhanmondi political office in the capital.

The AL general secretary said BNP has failed in all movements, while they started the movement, since last December, to topple the AL government.

After failing in the normal movement, the BNP men took the path of sabotage, he said. 

Centering the next general elections, he said, it may be seen that they (BNP) are hatching plots to kill any important leader or candidate. 

"They (BNP) are coming up with terrible plans. After failing in all movements, they are now distributing leaflets and preparing to carry out more terrible attacks. We are getting news that they are going to the path of assassination," Quader said.

He said the AL does not want violence in the elections, while the party will not take responsibility if any candidate gets involved in conflicts. 

"We have no objection to the punishment which the Election Commission (EC) will decide through the law enforcing agencies," the AL general secretary said.

He said now the law enforcing agencies will work under the EC in line with the country's constitution.

Calling upon the AL candidates to show responsible attitudes, Quader said the AL would not get involved in controversy over the elections.
