Govt to deal with country’s internal issues, not foreign diplomats: Quader

Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader has said  it is the government which will solve the internal issues of the country and the foreign diplomats have to abide by the rules of Geneva Convention in this regard.

The Minister said this while talking to reporters at his Ministry’s conference room at the secretariat on Monday.

“Foreign diplomats won’t 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.

Quader, also the General Secretary of ruling Awami League (AL), added that the government doesn’t promote terrorist activities like torching vehicles and shops.

“We’re always alert to prevent any kind of terrorism. We’ll take necessary steps if anyone creates chaos and suffering to people. Law enforcement agencies are always active to tackle violence,” Quader added.
