BNP leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has demanded the declaration of a specific election date to return power to the people. Speaking at a May Day rally, Rizvi accused Sheikh Hasina of continuing a reign of political killings even while in hiding. He claimed forensic evidence confirmed her voice in a threatening speech aimed at 262 people. Rizvi warned that another fascist regime would leave no one safe and urged immediate elections to restore democracy.
