Despite heated discussions in national politics over the past few months concerning him and his party, G M Quader, Chairman of a faction of the Jatiya Party, had remained largely silent. He has now finally broken his silence, addressing several key issues regarding the upcoming elections.

Key Statements by G M Quader

  • Regarding Awami League Voters:
    Quader questioned,

“Have the citizenship rights of Awami League voters been revoked? Will their names be removed from the voter list? Will they be prevented from voting? Has any such announcement been made? If not, then why worry if they vote for my party?”

  • Voting Behaviour Predictions:
    He expressed confidence that Awami League voters will support the Jatiya Party. Regarding BNP, he noted:

“If the BNP offers them better facilities and promises not to harass them after winning, they may vote for BNP as well. However, they will not vote for Jamaat.”

  • Election Credibility:
    Quader believes that including all parties, including Awami League, will increase the credibility of the next election. He added:

“When Jamaat was banned, we opposed it, but it did not benefit the country. Elections conducted without including all stakeholders cannot be considered good elections. Yet if I say this now, I am labelled a traitor.”

  • Concerns About BNP and Jamaat:
    Quader accused the Dr. Yunus government of attempting to corner BNP by promoting Jamaat. He emphasised that the next election should be held under a new government, not an interim administration.
  • Party Strength:
    He also claimed that the Jatiya Party has grown stronger following another recent internal split.
