Dhaka, Mar 30 The communications minister on Friday claimed that a quarter was plotting at home and abroad to stop the government starting the construction of the long-awaited Padma bridge.
"A quarter active both at home and abroad is against the start of Padma bridge construction work within the tenure of the present government," Obaidul Quader told a programme organised by SAARC Cultural Association at the Supreme Court Bar Association auditorium.
He said: "The quarter that is putting priority to their personal gains over the public interest will be eventually disappointed."
Since taking over as the communications minister, Quader has been saying that the construction of the bridge would start during the incumbent government's tenure.
On a different note, he said damaged roads and bridges would be mended before the start of the next rainy season.
Claiming that his office functioned properly in the last four months, Quader said: "Those who are against the pace of work of the ministry are spreading rumours against my office. They need to keep in mind that truth prevails over rumours."
"I'm not afraid of the criticism and propaganda. But they hurt me," he said.
