Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, senior joint secretary general of BNP, claimed that India never intends to maintain friendly relations with its neighboring countries. He accused India of taking deliberate actions to destabilize Bangladesh, including restrictions on goods transport, border killings, and mistreatment of fishermen. Sarjis Alam, chief organizer of the National Citizens Party (NCP) in the north, shared Rizvi’s statement on social media and expressed full support for any reasonable stance that serves the country’s interests.
