BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Wednesday said that the people of country are going to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr on Thursday in a festive mood but there is no joy of Eid in the families of BNP leaders and activists, reports UNB.
He said this in an Eid gift distribution programme organised by BNP Dhaka Metropolitan North’s Kafrul Thana unit in the city.
Rizvi said a sad ambience has been prevailing at BNP leaders and activists’ families as someone has lost leg, someone eye in law enforcement agencies’ brutal torture.
“When we visit any BNP leader or activist’s house , we see that the party activist missing for a long time or was subject to extra judicial killing earlier”.
Families of BNP leaders and activists are celebrating Eid with tears for their son, brother, father, husband and so on, he said.
In the 15 years BNP leaders and activists either went to jail, hospital or got out of jail, he added.
On the one hand, the ruling party is driving steam roller on BNP, on the other hand, Sheikh Hasina’s close one was placed Forbes Magazine top twenties richest list by looting country’s poor people’s money, he claimed.
“In the name of development like Padma Bridge, metro rail, quick rental, Sheikh Hasina’s looters made Begum Para in Canada, Gulshan 3 in Dubai, second home in Malaysia by looting poor people’s money.”
This is not fairy tale, it is real, Rizvi said.
Not only the BNP men but also the mass people are suffering due to AL misrule, said Rizvi further adding that a father sold his son after failing to pay treatment bill in hospital, mother sold her child in market due to extreme poverty.
