The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has voiced serious concern over rising extortion and harassment of ordinary citizens through false cases in Chattogram. In a statement signed by Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, the party urged local authorities to take immediate action. “If security and stability are not ensured in the country’s commercial hub, business and trade will suffer,” Rizvi warned. BNP also called on businesses and citizens to resist criminal elements.
