BNP’s Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has claimed that deep-rooted conspiracies are being orchestrated both domestically and internationally, primarily targeting Tarique Rahman. He accused certain Islamic groups on social media of spreading disinformation, and cited an incident in Comilla where an adviser’s affiliates—not the Jubo Dal—were allegedly involved in a rape case, according to the victim’s family. Rizvi said that calls for a proportional representation (PR) electoral system began immediately after a meeting between Dr. Yunus and Tarique Rahman, calling it a clear indication of a wider political plot.
