“The brokers who are obstructing the development of Awami League and the government will be resisted. Those who have defamed the name of Awami League and are conspiring against the leaders and workers of Awami League, they will not be exempted anymore. A student camp infiltrating the Awami League is destroying the Awami League with tactics.  This circle consisting of anti-independence groups is opposing the development of the government and the Awami League.  They wear Awami League uniforms throughout the year, but they get busy sinking boats during elections.  But the people of Chatak-Doyara have repeatedly won the boat and responded with broken teeth to their misdeeds.  This identified group is constantly engaged in various conspiracies to divide the Awami family of Chatak-Dora who trusts the boat, the symbol of independence, and the leadership of leader Sheikh Hasina.  They are accusing Awami League leaders and activists in various complex cases for harassment.  Awami League is torturing the leaders and activists using their accumulated black money.” Muhibur Rahman Manik, Member of Parliament of Sunamganj-5 Constituency, said these things in the speech of the chief guest at the protest march and public meeting held at Chatat against the anti-national conspiracy of BNP, Jamaat and their allies on Sunday afternoon.
