Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Tuesday said that it is completely a symptom of political bankruptcy for BNP as they hold a meeting with the Israeli secret service agency for ousting the government.

“BNP has resorted to a secret-attack strategy to topple the government having failed to survive the political tactics of Sheikh Hasina. Their activities have put their patriotism into question,” news agency UNB said.

The minister came up with the statement while speaking to the reporters after inaugurating the two-lane railway overpass on Biswa Road in Paduar Bazar in Sadar Dakkhin upazila.

The illegal establishments on both sides of the highway will be evicted before Ramadan for ensuring uninterrupted movement of vehicles, Obaidul added.

Noting that the last 20 percent work of the Dhaka-Chittagong four-lane is yet to be completed, he said the work is being delayed due to rain.

Four-lane project director Aftab Hossain Khan, its additional project director Abdus Sabur, additional chief engineer of Roads and Highways Comilla office Zunayed Ahmed Shibib, executive engineer Saif Uddin, four-lane project manager-2 Masum Sarwar were, among others, present.
