Ahmed Hossain, the party’s organizing secretary, gave some hints about this strategy of Awami League to put pressure on BNP in the streets and also to make trouble in the upcoming elections. On January 23, Ahmed Hossain said in a meeting organized in support of lawyer Abdus Sattar in Ashuganj, ‘Why did we support the rejoined candidate of BNP? It has a political significance.’
Ahmed Hossain, the organizing secretary of Awami League, did not end his speech with this hint. Why Awami League has supported the lawyer, he said in that committee, ‘You don’t understand. You understand the politics of picking thorns with thorns. Do you understand? We have words here, he who has understanding, understands gestures. And that beckal has to be understood by pushing it. This is the semi-final for self respect, skills, leadership ability and if you have a dream for the future, the realization of that dream. We have to win this semi-final.’
