BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has strongly condemned the harassment of Akhtar Hossain and other political leaders in New York.

He accused former ruling elites of attempting to create fresh chaos:

“Those who imposed autocracy for 15 years are again conspiring to destabilize politics. We must remain vigilant against backdoor deals with dictators,” Rizvi said.

He further alleged that new propaganda campaigns against BNP began after August 5, aimed at reviving “minus-one” style politics.
“Just as Khaleda Zia could not be forced into exile, BNP too cannot be eliminated. We will resist such conspiracies,” Rizvi declared.

He also instructed party activists to act as guardians during the upcoming Durga Puja celebrations to ensure peaceful festivities.
