Rizvi said, ‘When the four-time former prime minister wanted to be thrown from the Padma bridge, Dr. who brought international honor. Where was everyone when you wanted to drown Yunus? I want to know what role Obaidul Kader played then. When this government’s alliance in the parliament threatened to kill Khaleda Zia, the leader of Jasdar – she should be killed, where was everyone?’
He said, ‘If Sheikh Hasina’s rule is not ended, there will be no freedom of expression, freedom of press, freedom of journalists to conduct their profession. They want to create a silent situation without opposition. They can only maintain illegal power if they can make a dumb situation. It cannot, will not be allowed to happen. Our peaceful program is going on, will continue.’
Regarding the deployment of additional police on the day of the march in Rajshahi, Rizvi said, ‘Even after bringing so many APBNs, so many SWATs, they could not stop it. Those who are in our leadership level have fought hard. Rajshahi has become a city of fear. What a strange situation has been created here. The law and order force is the force of the people, the force of the state, it cannot be the force of any party. The law and order forces are showing ferocity as a corrupt force of the illegal government.’
