Quader likened the BNP to the Muslim League to predict the party’s fall from popularity before disappearing altogether from the political scenes. It lacks necessary capital to win the elections,” Quader, also the minister for roads and transports, said at a programme in Cox’s Bazar on Monday. Established in 1906, the Muslim League reached the peak of popularity as a mass-based pressure group in British India. After the formation of Pakistan in 1947, the Muslim League became its dominant political party. In the elections of 1954, the Muslim League lost power in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), and the party lost power in West Pakistan (now Pakistan) soon afterwards.
