The BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said, we have not heard the word ‘disappearance’ before. I have come to know what and how many types of disappearances during this Awami League (AL) government. So this multiplication term was not familiar to you before. He was speaking as a chief guest at a discussion and prayer meeting on the occasion of the 76th birth anniversary of BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia organized by an organization called Manab Seba Sangha at the Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) auditorium on Wednesday (Aug 25).
BNP chairperson’s advisor Abul Khair Bhuiyan, health affairs secretary Dr. Rafiqul Islam, rural development affairs secretary Gautam Chakraborty and executive committee member Advocate Nipun Roy Chowdhury spoke on the occasion under the chairmanship of Sanjay De Ripon.
Rizvi said on Tuesday in a program the Prime Minister had said that the grenade attack on August 21 was the result of the disappearance of the body by the then BNP government. That is, she said strange things. Every day he spoke strangely and falsely. We have never heard the word disappearance before. I have come to know what and how many types of disappearances during this AL government. So this multiplication term was not familiar to you before.
The term came to be known during the tenure of your government. And many student human rights activists who speak out for rights have gone missing. Therefore, the people cannot be misled by such misleading statements that the then BNP government have disappeared the body in the grenade attack on August 21. The people of the country are not confused by your words.
Rizvi said the people immediately understood that the ministers and MPs of the government were making false and misleading statements. During H M Ershad’s (late President) tenure you said that those who will go to the polls under this government are national traitors but within 24 hours you went to the polls with him.
And since then people don’t believe your words. He said the Rohingyas, who have been persecuted by Myanmar’s army and government, have been living in the country for four years.
In these four years, you, the Prime Minister, have not been able to make any arrangements for their return. So the people of the country do not believe such statements of yours. Regarding the corona vaccine, the BNP leader said, you have completely failed in the case of corona, in the case of vaccination, in the case of global epidemic.
Rizvi said, School-college has been closed for a long time but you have no statement on this issue. Today the world is arranging education for students in many ways but you can’t. Students of different universities of the country including Dhaka University are wandering around unemployed. And you are trying to divert people’s attention by saying one untrue, fabricated thing after another.
