US Visa Policy It is now a matter of seeing how the US visa policy works: Obaidul Quader
Dhaka, June 17: Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said that it remains to be seen how the US visa policy works here despite the announcement that BNP will not allow elections. He said this in response to questions from reporters after inspecting the construction work of four and a half kilometers of BRT project at Tongi in Gazipur on Saturday.
Obaidul Quader said, "In the US visa policy, they say that the visa policy will be applied to those who obstruct the free and fair elections. This policy will now be blind, deaf; No, it will be realistic, we will see.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Road Transport and Bridges said, "We do not care whether the visa policy is implemented or not." We can also have a visa policy. We can do it too. Wait.'
In response to another question from the journalists, the Awami League General Secretary said that BNP should be mentioned when talking about corruption and misrule. I don't know that those who do corruption and bad governance are talking so much. Obaidul Quader mentioned that the government cannot stay, it has to leave - BNP movement has been hearing such words for 14 years, Obaidul Quader said, in these 14 years, they could not make any visible movement for the release of their leader, and they are protesting to leave the government?
Awami League General Secretary said that there is no possibility of any movement involving the people on the call of remote control of a fugitive leader abroad. Tried a lot. But couldn't do it.
The minister said about the BRT project at this time, considering the time, this project has gone too far. A dilemma has worked. He said, it would have been better to think more deeply about the project before thinking about this road in Gazipur. The World Bank has proposed expansion here. But the road we have here will increase the suffering, the suffering will affect the entire capital. We have done many development projects in Bangladesh as an alternative. About 5 thousand crore rupees project is going on with the World Bank for safe roads.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Road Transport and Bridges said, overall, the most important thing is order, order in transport. It's a challenge. It must be overcome.
He said, we are moving towards the inauguration by completing the entire project by next September-October. Apart from this, we can build the elevated expressway up to Tejgaon before the next election. I can do metro rail till Motijheel in September-October. The tunnel is also ready.
