"The judgment that the court delivered against Begum Khaleda Zia is a warning message for the country's corrupt politicians," he said, reports UNB.
He made the remark while inaugurating the superstructure works of the Kanchpur, Megna and Gomti Second bridges Project at Megnaghat in Sonargaon under Narayanganj district on Saturday.
Quader, also general secretary of the ruling Awami League, said the jail is a normal phenomenon in the life of a politician.
The minister said BNP proved that it is a self-confessed party of corrupt persons by removing the section-7 from the party's charter to pave the way for convicted corrupt persons to be the leaders of the party.
If anyone does politics s/he has to accept the jail, he said adding that they had to endure jail and repression too to reach to the present position.
Quader hoped that the Prime Minister will open the three pidges in November next.
He said Tk 700 crore will be saved from the project involving Tk 12,000 crore.
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is using the advanced technology in the construction works of the pidges and ensured a100-year longevity.
