Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has alleged that the BNP is bringing weapons into the country through Chapainawabganj border. 

He said: "I am getting news from across the border that they (BNP) are buying weapons. Chapainawabganj is a base for their arms supply. They want to grab power through the force of arms as they do not have faith in people's power.”

Obaidul Quader made the statement in a meeting of the affiliated organizations of the party the central office of Awami League on Bangabandhu Avenue on Tuesday.

He said: "When we plan to hold program on the occasion of the month of mourning, BNP as well as some media term it as counter program. How is it a counter program? We already said we will be present in the field level till the election.”

"Those who create conflict are weak. We want a conflict-free, peaceful, free and fair election. It is our promise to the nation,” he added.
