The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) on Friday continued its countrywide mass-contact campaign in support of the party's non-cooperation movement.
The rank and file of the BNP and like-minded parties dished out leaflets discouraging the public to adhere to government rules, and pay taxes and utility bills.
They also requested the commoners to boycott the 'dummy' general election due for January 07.
BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi took part in the leaflet-distribution campaign in the city's Uttara on Friday morning.
He said the social-media post prepared by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) was falsified as it blamed the BNP for recent arson attacks on railways.
"The upcoming election is one-sided and it has become clearer to the democratic world today. Foreign ministry has taken the role of a neo-Razakar (collaborator) by going against the people."
The ministry was working as an accomplice of the government against holding a free, fair, transparent and participatory election in Bangladesh, he alleged.
Two statements were published on the MoFA's Facebook page on Thursday, accusing the BNP and its allies of sabotaging railway communications across the country.
Slamming the ministry's statement, Mr Rizvi claimed as many as 63 political parties and a majority of the people have boycotted this one-sided election.
The BNP leaders circulated leaflets to the general public, including shop owners, consumers, pedestrians, rickshaw-pullers and working-class people.
