He said such
announcements without proper planning were creating legal and political
complications for the party’s grassroots supporters.
Speaking to
journalists after paying respects at the grave of district Krishak Sramik
Janata League President Aminul Islam Tarek in Kishoreganj on Thursday, Kader
Siddique said rumours about Sheikh Hasina’s return in December had already
created difficulties for many Awami League supporters.
“Awami League
leaders and activists are suffering the most because of the speculation over
Sheikh Hasina’s return. If such a decision was made through proper planning,
supporters could have been encouraged. But now many are facing arrests and
legal complications,” he said.
Commenting on Chief
Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, Kader Siddique said, “Even if he is tried for
the damage he has caused to the country, it would not be enough.” However, he
praised BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman’s gesture of showing respect to
Yunus at a July Day event, describing it as part of political culture.
Assessing the
current government’s performance, Kader Siddique said that despite facing
national and international challenges, the present administration was managing
the country better compared to the period under Professor Yunus.
Speaking about Jamaat-e-Islami, he described the party as “unfortunate” and alleged that it had opposed independence during the Liberation War and supported the British during the anti-British movement, which he said contributed to its decline.
