BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi accused India of provoking unrest along the border through forceful pushbacks. "By tripping and shoving people at the border, India is attempting to stir up trouble. If they continue to disregard Bangladesh’s sovereignty, they must be prepared to take responsibility for the consequences," Rizvi said.

He also criticized the ruling Awami League, alleging rampant corruption: "The Awami League’s leaders and ministers have embezzled public funds and laundered money abroad. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina must be held accountable."
