Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, the Prime Minister’s Political Adviser and Acting Secretary General of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), has accused Jamaat-e-Islami of attempting to tarnish the government’s image by spreading misleading information. He made the allegation on Saturday morning while participating in a dengue awareness campaign organised by the Dhaka Metropolitan South unit of the BNP in the Fakirapul Kacha Bazar area of the capital. The campaign involved distributing leaflets to raise public awareness about dengue.

Rizvi said that certain groups were attempting to mislead the public by spreading misinformation to serve their narrow political interests. He added that deliberate falsehoods and propaganda aimed at damaging the government’s overall image were unacceptable.

Rejecting allegations of an understanding between the BNP and the Awami League, Rizvi said those making claims about an agreement with the Awami League must provide relevant documents to substantiate their allegations. In contrast, he claimed that specific evidence of political collusion involving his opponents had already been made public.

Referring to Bangladesh’s position in the global food security index, Rizvi said the country was currently performing better than India and Pakistan.

He further alleged that a particular group was attempting to create artificial disorder and instability in the country. However, he asserted that the people of Bangladesh would not accept such attempts to create chaos.
