DHAKA, Oct 29, 2019 (BSS) – Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today urged the Jatiya Sramik League (JSL) leaders to remain alert so that no controversial people can get portfolio in the upcoming committee.

He said Sramik League committee should be formed with those who do politics under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina, upholding the ideology of Bangabandhu.

He was addressing a press conference at AL president’s political Dhanmondi office here after a meeting on the upcoming council of the Sramik League.

Quader said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina gave directives not to include opportunists and infiltrators in the committee.

Noting that the committee would be formed with the combination of young and old ones, Quader said you should not take any terrorist, extortionist, corrupt and drug peddler in the party.

“We have the lists of controversial, intruders and communal people and they cannot be councilors,” he said and urged the Sramik League leaders to settle intraparty dispute, if any, in house before the council.

AL Office Secretary Dr Abdus Sobhan Golap, Relief and Social Welfare Secretary Sujit Roy Nandi, Labour and Manpower Affairs Secretary Habibur Rahman Siraj and JSL President Shukkur Mahmud and General Secretary Sirajul Islam were present at the press conference, among others.
