Ruling Awami League presidium member Obaidul Kader said on Saturday that some ministers and ruling party lawmakers grabbed khas land and established control over their respective constituencies.
He accused them of behaving like 'lords'.
'There is a limit to people's desire. But some of the ministers and MPs have endless needs. They are establishing control over their constituencies as if
They are the lords of their areas,' Kader said.
Speaking at a discussion held at Dhaka Reporters' Unity organised by Bangabandhu Academy, he warned them saying that 'the people would give a befitting reply through the ballot if they do not stop such activities.'
He requested the government to be aware about the activities of 'some of the ruling party men' as they were tarnishing its image.
Foyez Uddin Mia, vice- president of Dhaka city Awami League and MA Karim, organising secretary of Krishak League, attended the session chaired by academy president Hemayet Uddin, Bir Bikram.
Kader said that opposition BNP was planning to return to parliament to save their membership and secure their facilities.
'BNP is not coming to the House for the sake of people, rather they will come to secure their membership, foreign trips and allowances,' he added.
He requested the opposition party not to call the government illegal.
'Do not call the election and parliament illegal. If you say so, the opposition party will also be considered illegal,' said the AL leader.
He also called for fixing the functions and scope of caretaker governments so that they cannot cross the limits.
