BNP senior leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Sunday alleged that not only India but also a few political parties, including those who opposed the Liberation War in 1971, are trying to fish in troubled waters to secure their own political gains.
“Now, not only a neighbouring country is spreading propaganda and misinformation and trying to stigmatise (the BNP), but also one or two political parties from within the country are trying to fish in troubled waters to make their political gains,” he said after paying homage to BNP founder Ziaur Rahman.
Rizvi spoke to reporters after placing wreaths at Zia’s grave, accompanied by the leaders and workers of Jatiyatabadi Rickshaw-Van-Auto Sramik Dal.
He said all democratic political forces should be united at this time, but a few parties are trying to divide these forces solely for their own political interests.
Rizvi criticised the leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami for their remarks that one party of extortionists has escaped, and people do not want to see another party of extortionists.
“Don’t we understand who you mean by this? The day after August 5, we saw how you took control of the Islamic banks,” the BNP leader said.
He also said that the people of the country are well aware of which party is associated with sharp weapons and the cutting of tendons.
“You opposed the Liberation War in 1971 and joined Ershad’s elections with Sheikh Hasina in 1986, betraying people,” the BNP leader said.
