CHITTAGONG, Jan 30, 2015 (BSS)- Road Transport and Bridges Minister
Obaidul Quader on Friday urged the politicians to build bridges of love and cooperation among themselves shunning the politics of violence.
He said politics involving conflict and clash is harmful for
both the country and democracy and called for breaking the wall
of political distance for greater welfare of the country.
"You know the people of Bangladesh love democracy. Having differences of opinion in a democratic society is the essence and beauty of democracy. That's why it's important to practise
democratic norms and values," he said.
The Minister said this while speaking as chief guest at the biennial conference of Television Journalist Association Chittagong (TJAC) held at Chittagong Press Club (CPC) auditorium

The minister said the political programmes which cannot earn love from the people should be stopped and the politics of arson and anarchy should be removed for the welfare of the general
mass.
