AL has no objection if polls deferred: Quader Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader talking to reporters

DHAKA: Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader said his party will not raise objection if the Election Council defer the schedule of 11th parliamentary polls. 

“The schedule can be deferred if EC wants. AL will not question EC’s decision. However discussion should be made with us in this regard”, he added. 

Qauder, also Road Transport and Bridges Minister, made the remarks to reporters at AL president Sheikh Hasina’s Dhanmondi political office on Sunday (Nov 11).

He said the election schedule is completely under EC’s jurisdiction. We hope the commission will make a pragmatic decision on this matter based on consensus of all political parties. 

On the matter of cricketer Mashrafe’s nomination seeking, Quader said, “Mashrafe has been working in his own area and we were considering his nomination for quite some time now. However, the Prime Minister told Shakib to stay in cricket for country’s sake.”
