Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Monday said BNP has no courage or capability to hold a public rally without taking permission as they could not take to the street with 500 workers to wage movement for the release of the party's chairperson Khaleda Zia from jail.
He said, BNP's announcement of holding meetings without taking permission is nothing but ridiculous.
Quader, also Road Transport and Bridges Minister, was addressing a press conference on contemporary issues at Road Transport and Highways Division conference room at the Secretariat.
On the enforcement of new Road Transport Act (RTA), the minister said tolerance will be showed as much as possible in enforcement of the new law.
"We will have to go ahead carefully considering reality. We did not impose decision, rather realistic decision was taken after holding discussions with all the stakeholders," he added.
Quader said the home minister has been given the charge to resolve the problem centring the new act.
After scrutiny, if any realistic, logical and fair reason is found for amendment to the act, it will definitely be considered.
"We'll discuss the matter with the Prime Minister," he said.
The minister said the government has taken initiatives to increase manpower of Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA).
BRTC and BRTA have undertaken a massive project to create skilled drivers, he said.
