BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has criticized the current interim government, claiming its behavior suggests that poor teachers are not treated as citizens of the country. Speaking at a rally in front of the National Press Club on November 24, Rizvi expressed solidarity with non-MPO teachers who have been protesting for 23 days demanding inclusion under the Monthly Pay Order (MPO) scheme. He stated that while BNP believes the Chief Adviser can ensure a fair election, the conduct of some advisers raises doubts. Teachers from around 4,000 non-MPO educational institutions across Bangladesh have been participating in demonstrations and hunger strikes under the banner of the Combined Non-MPO Teachers Unity Council. Rizvi described their demands as fully justified and urged the government to respond to their grievances promptly.
