UNB, Kurigram :
BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Monday alleged that the government has no mechanism to ease the sufferings of the flood-hit people as it is busy ‘hatching a plot to perpetuate its misrule’.
“Though there’s a deficit of food stock in the country, the government is lying about it. They also have no preparation to ease the sufferings of flood victims and tackle the natural disaster,” he said.
The BNP leader came up with the comments while distributing relief materials among 1,200 flood victims at Behlakopar Hanagarh in municipality area here and Pachgachi union.
Rizvi said, the government has no visible activity to stand by the flood-affected people with adequate relief materials and other necessary support. “We’ve seen they (ministers) are going to one or two urban areas (to visit flood victims) and returning to Dhaka after photo sessions and feast.”
The BNP leader claimed their party leaders and activists are visiting all the flood-affected areas with relief materials under the supervision of the party’s central relief committee.
He came down hard on the ruling party leaders for what he said taking an unlawful stance against the judiciary following the Supreme Court’s verdict that cancelled the 16th amendment.
