BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Advocate Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has expressed concern that the interim government might be working with a 'hidden agenda', reports UNB.
"Is this government working with any agenda and planned design? This is now a big question in people's minds. That is why a smokescreen has been created," he said.
Rizvi came up with the remarks while speaking at a doa mahfil, organised by the M Ilias Ali Ghum Protirodh Committee on the ground floor of BNP's Nayapaltan central office in the capital on Thursday, marking the anniversary of his enforced disappearance and seeking any trace of the BNP leader.
Rizvi warned the government that the consequences would not be good if it played tricks with people.
He also expressed regret that, even after nine months since the formation of the current government, no steps have been taken to relieve BNP leaders and activists from the 6 million cases filed against them during the Awami League regime.
"I won't say the government is doing nothing-maybe they are doing something-but why is the voting right, for which we struggled immensely for 15-16 years, being delayed? Why is reform being positioned as an alternative to elections and voting rights?" the BNP leader questioned.
He said reforms or anything else cannot be an alternative to democracy, elections, and voting rights.
"When we talk about the need for elections and voting rights, the government keeps presenting more alternatives. Democracy means elections. Democracy means justice," Rizvi said.
