BNP Acting Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Wednesday alleged that associates of the fallen fascist regime were attempting to create unrest across the country to put the government in an awkward position.
He made the allegation at a programme in Gazirtek of Charbhadrasan upazila, where he handed over the keys to a newly constructed house to the family of Lokai Biswas on behalf of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman.
Organised under the supervision of “Amra BNP Poribar”, the programme also included medical assistance and cash support for disadvantaged families, as well as the distribution of sewing machines to help women pursue employment.
“Leaders of the former fascist regime looted the country’s banks, siphoned off wealth abroad and are now living lavishly while conspiring against the country from overseas,” Rizvi said.
He also said the alleged harassment of former interim government Chief Adviser and Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus at a New York airport had tarnished Bangladesh’s image internationally.
Referring to recent fuel price adjustments, the BNP leader said the government had been compelled to revise domestic fuel prices following increases in global oil prices linked to the war.
Rizvi called on BNP leaders and activists at all levels to maintain unity.
The programme was presided over by Faridpur-4 MP Md Shohidul Islam, while Faridpur-3 MP Chowdhury Nayab Yusuf Ahmed attended as a special guest.
District BNP Convener Advocate Modares Ali Isa, Member Secretary AK Kibria Swapan, Bhanga Upazila BNP Convener Khandaker Selim, Krishak Dal leader Khandaker Nasirul Islam and Jubo Dal leader Rajib Hossain were among others present at the event.
