Rizvi reiterates stance against mob violence

Reaffirming his party's stance against the culture of mob violence, BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has said no one has the right to take the law into their own hands, report agencies.

"The case filed against three Election Commissions will proceed according to the law. But no one has the right to take the law into their own hands," he said.

The BNP leader made the remarks while talking to reporters after paying homage to party founder Ziaur Rahman by placing a wreath at his grave in the capital on Tuesday, along with the leaders of the newly-formed Brahmanbaria district unit committee.

As part of their move to stop such despicable practices, he said BNP has filed a case against those who destroyed democracy, the electoral system, conducted day's votes at night and held a dummy election without ensuring a proper atmosphere for the opposition parties to join the polls.

Rizvi, however, said his party does not support any unruly activities or incidents of mob justice.

He called upon the interim government to remain alert and take steps to prevent the incidents of mob violence in the country.
