Ruhul Kabir Rizvi BNP senior joint secretary general on Sunday claimed that their party took the right decision by not joining Awami League’s national council as there is no democratic atmosphere in the country.
“This is, I think, a right decision of not sending our any delegation to their (AL’s) council since there is no democratic government,” he said. The BNP leader came up with the
remarks at a press briefing at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office. Rizvi said how BNP leaders can join the ruling party’s council as its leaders made indecent remarks about Khaleda Zia just two days before the programme and they tried to obstruct BNP’s March-19 council. “Our leaders and activists are still going through immense repression across the country because of them (ruling party men).” Earlier, on Saturday, BNP refrained from attending Awami League’s 20th national council. The two-day council of the ruling party began on Saturday at the city’s Suhrawardy Udyan.
On Thursday, Awami League invited BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and its Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir to join their party’s council. Asked what their party achieved by not attending the council, Rizvi said, “We’re surely benefited from it. We can’t join the programme of a party that regularly insults us and represses us.” He alleged that the ruling party leaders consider them as landlords as they are not people’s representatives. The BNP leader also criticised the ruling party for what said its excessive expenditure for the council. “They occupied the entire Dhaka city and decorated its different parts with various types of lightings for the council as they think the country as their personal property.”
He also alleged that the ruling party collected money for the council unfairly. “This council is being held through a massive corruption.”
