BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi claimed that the murder of scrap dealer Sohag in Mitford is being politically exploited. He clarified that the incident stemmed from a business dispute, not party ideology or internal conflict. “All those involved were expelled from the party the same night,” he said. Rizvi also criticized the selective outrage, pointing to recent attacks in Khulna and Chandpur that went largely ignored. He demanded justice for all such killings, regardless of political affiliations.
