Govt to deal with internal issues, not foreign envoys: Obaidul Quader MP

The government will solve the internal issues of the country and the foreign diplomats have to abide by the rules of the Geneva Convention in this regard, said Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Monday.

The minister said this while talking to reporters in his ministry’s conference room at the secretariat.

“Foreign diplomats will not bring anyone to power, the country’s people will. Foreign diplomats have to follow the Geneva Convention when they talk about the internal affairs of our country. It’s the government who will solve the country’s problems, not them,” Quader said.

Obaidul Quader, also the general secretary of Bangladesh Awami League, said, “We’re always alert to prevent any kind of terrorism. We’ll take necessary steps if anyone creates chaos in the country and causes sufferings to people. Law enforcement agencies are always active to tackle violence.”
