BNP's Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Tuesday accused the police and administration of not cooperating in taking action against the troublemakers who use the party name in their interest.
“Although BNP has repeatedly asked to take legal action against criminals and troublemakers, the administration remains silent,” Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said at an emergency news conference at the party headquarters in the city’s Nayapaltan.
“There will be no place for extortionists and wrongdoers in the BNP,” he said.
“Several leaders and activists have already been expelled, dismissed, suspended from their posts, and given show cause notices,” he said alleging that “We have noticed that the media has not mentioned much about such ongoing organisational measures by the party. Moreover, the lax role of the law enforcement agencies is mysterious.”
The police administration has not been very active since the interim government came to power. Rather, in some cases, it is clearly seen that some are deliberately stirring up trouble, he alleged.
The prevalence of “mob culture” was increasing due to administrative stagnation. Under the influence of illegal black money and secret activities, attempts are being made to create chaos in the society in the name of “mob culture”.
“Due to the black money and underground activities of their cronies during the Awami era, the criminals are getting exposed and there are signs of creating the possibility of creating anarchy in the society,” he continued.
Furthermore, self-interested circles are using technology in a very planned way to spread various propaganda through social media against the BNP.
“The people believe that this planned propaganda, misdeeds, and artificially created social unrest are a far-reaching plan to obstruct the path of democracy and postpone the elections,” he claimed.
Like the strange development narrative during Sheikh Hasina's tenure, various kinds of narratives are now being made about postponing the elections, he said.
