BNP acting Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Wednesday alleged that the associates of the fallen fascist regime are trying to create instability across the country to put the government in an awkward situation.
He made the allegation while speaking at a programme in Gazirtek of Charbhadrasan upazila, where he handed over the keys to a newly built house for the family of Lokai Biswas on behalf of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman.
The programme, organised under the supervision of “Amra BNP Poribar”, also featured the distribution of medical assistance and cash aid to disadvantaged families, along with sewing machines to support women’s 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 harassment of former interim government Chief Adviser and Nobel Laureate Prof Muhammad Yunus in a New York airport tarnished Bangladesh’s international image.
Referring to recent fuel price adjustments, the BNP leader said the government was forced to adjust domestic fuel prices amid increases in global oil prices linked to the war.
He urged BNP leaders and activists at all levels to remain united.
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.
Among others, 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 attended the event, reports UNB.
