BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has rejected claims that party Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir was harassed in New York. He said no such incident took place, dismissing the allegations as false and baseless propaganda.Speaking on Wednesday (24 September) after placing wreaths at the grave of late President Ziaur Rahman with newly elected leaders of Pirojpur district BNP, Rizvi said:“Had the interim government shown competence, the cohorts of fascism would not have dared to carry out such activities. Because of the government’s inaction, these collaborators’ ghosts are roaming the country and operating abroad.”

He further asserted that the BNP has no secret understanding with the Awami League’s associates, describing Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as the “symbol of a tyrannical fascist regime.” According to Rizvi, “various conspiracies and masterplans” are underway, but he urged that the sacrifice of the martyrs of July must not go in vain.

Criticizing the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), the BNP leader added that it has yet to recover or prosecute those who looted public money.
