UNB, Dhaka :
BNP senior leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Wednesday said there is a question in public mind whether Awami League had ‘involvement’ with the blueprint of the August-21 grenade attack.
 “Everybody knows the fact. It (August-21 attack) was part of a deep-rooted blueprint. People have doubt whether the ruling party (AL) had
 involvement with it. A question has arisen in public mind about it,” he said.
Rizvi, BNP senior joint secretary general, came up with the remarks while speaking at a press conference at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office.
The nation is observing the 15th anniversary of the savage August-21 grenade attack on an Awami League rally in the city that killed at least 24 leaders and activists of the party and injured 300 others.
However, Sheikh Hasina, the then opposition leader, luckily escaped the attack unhurt but her hearing was affected badly.
