BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has accused vested quarters of creating divisions in the name of religion through various fatwas. Speaking on Saturday, he said:

“Demolishing shrines and burning bodies is not part of the Prophet’s teachings. What we are witnessing is sheer anarchy. There seems to be an international conspiracy behind the unrest targeting the Tauhidi masses. Just as Sheikh Hasina conspired to tarnish the nation’s image during BNP’s rule, the interim government must investigate whether similar conspiracies are being hatched again.”

Rizvi further alleged that plots were being orchestrated from within the country itself. “Even during Pakistan’s rule, we never heard of attacks on shrines or cremation of bodies. Why has such chaos suddenly escalated in Bangladesh?” he questioned.
