AL MP says Obaidul most hated person in Noakhali

Ruling Awami League lawmaker for Noakhali-4 constituency Ekramul Karim Chowdhury on Thursday termed his party’s general secretary Obaidul Quader as the most hated person in Noakhali.

Ekram, a member of the AL district unit, who was once close to Obaidul, came up with the remark on a Facebook live from Singapore, where he was currently undergoing treatment at Mount Elizabeth Hospital.

He was scheduled for heart surgery in the hospital on the day.

‘I placed you [Obaidul] just after my father. During the 2008 elections, many senior leaders asked me to defeat you. But Alauddin Nasim [former protocol officer of prime minister Sheikh Hasina] told me to ensure your win,’ Ekram said in his over 18-minute video.

He said that Obaidul Quader was doing huge damage to Awami League.

‘It would be tough to fix the damage. Why don’t understand, the leader [Sheikh Hasina] has asked you to keep mum at different places,’ he said, adding that Obaidul was despised by all Noakhali people except a few beneficiaries.

Ekram also spoke about controlling Quader Mirza, younger brother of Obaidul and the mayor of Basurhat municipality in Companiganj upazila of the district.

‘If you can’t control him [Quader Mirza], give me the chance for one day only. I will drag your brother to the street. Many of us have kept mum just for the sake of you. Leader Sheikh Hasina sent me a message four-five times not to say anything,’ he said.

He appreciated those people who were protesting against the activities of Quader Mirza.

Quader Mirza drew attention in recent months criticising his brother Obaidul and raising his voice against irregularities that took place in the Noakhali region during the 11th parliamentary polls in December 2018.
