“The feeling of coming to Parliament is always good. In that sense, it is a matter of pleasure to come to Parliament again,” he said, reports UNB. He made the remarks just after he took oath as the MP on Wednesday morning. GM Quader said, "I don't know exactly what the rule is. But we were in opposition, and want to be in opposition. We are public welfare oriented and we want to do what is good for the people.” Referring to the protests in the party office over the alleged failure of leadership he said, these are pre-planned things. “Some people are trying to tarnish our party's image. What had been done was done in consultation with everyone,” he said. Responding to a question about the party getting fewer seats this time he said that things don’t remain the same all the time. The senior leader of the party also said that the election did not really reflect his party’s popularity or its base with the people. It is mentionable, Jatiya Party secured only 11 seats this time compared to 23 bagged in the 2018 election. |
