With only weeks left for the 11th Parliamentary Election, Awami League’s (AL) electoral symbol ‘boat’ sees a widespread popularity across the country, says General Secretary Obaidul Quader.
“Today, all people including artists, literates, intellectuals, sports personality nourish the spirit (of AL),” Quader said while launching the AL’s polls campaign in Dhaka on Thursday (Dec 13).

Speaking at the rally, Quader said, “The wave for 'boat' in the national election has also touched the cultural arena and that is why the cultural personalities have joined our election campaign”.
The AL general secretary said it would be proved in the polls that the people stay with honest, bold and wise leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

"It would also be proved that the people do not support communal force BNP-Jammat," he added.


The AL general secretary described BNP as a party of killers and corrupt people saying that the country became champion in corruption for five times during the BNP regime.
