BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has raised concerns over sudden discussions about proportional representation in Bangladesh’s electoral system. “The people neither relate to nor are familiar with PR. Why bring it up now? Does this mean there is an ill motive behind the election process?” Rizvi asked during a prayer gathering. He said unresolved issues around restoring democracy and ensuring free, fair elections must be addressed first. “Introducing a new system now will only create chaos. Sheikh Hasina has already thrown society into disarray—we must return to real accountability.” Rizvi further accused the government of continuing conspiracies and highlighted failures across multiple sectors, adding that enforced disappearances, killings, and secret murders under Hasina’s rule remain a dark chapter of fascist misrule.
