There will be no compromise over the constitution.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Responding to a question about BNP’s movement, Quader said that his government doesn’t see the movement as a challenge. “No movement is possible without people’s participation. It is clear that the party has failed to draw as many people as they hoped. We are not seeing their movement as a challenge. We will face their political movement politically.” UNB</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">bnbd124/kh</div>
