BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has accused the government of showing negligence and weakness in addressing crime and terrorism across Bangladesh. Speaking after paying respects at the tomb of party founder Ziaur Rahman with the newly formed Rajshahi city BNP committee, Rizvi claimed that while there are no state-sponsored abductions or killings, terrorist activities continue unchecked. He linked the recent killing of Jubo Dal leader Kibria to the government’s failure to act decisively. Rizvi also expressed concern over the recent earthquake that killed ten people, blaming unregulated high-rise construction for increasing risks in Dhaka. Earlier, he visited BNP candidate Ershad Ullah in hospital after the latter was shot during campaign activities in Chattogram-8 constituency. Rizvi condemned the attack as an attempt on Ershad Ullah’s life and demanded immediate arrest and legal action against those responsible.
