Dhaka, June 27 (V7N) — BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has urged party activists and the public to remain vigilant against conspirators and opportunists misusing the name of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) for personal gain.

He made these remarks on Friday afternoon at a discussion organized by the Bangladesh Puja Celebration Committee marking the occasion of Rath Yatra, held at Bhashani Bhaban in Nayapaltan.

Rizvi cautioned, “Many people are using the name of BNP to commit misdeeds for their own benefit. There are no instructions from the party high command on these matters.”

Criticizing the political situation, he said, “The country has fallen into the grip of illegal misrule and unjust laws due to the dummy election conducted by former Chief Election Commissioner Habibul Awal. Robbers have seized state power.” Rizvi expressed optimism that the “fascist era” would not return to Bangladesh.

He also stressed the need for holding elections at a reasonable time to restore democratic order.
