BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Monday said that BNP does not support vandalism or setting fire to anyone’s office or home.
He said: “If any party or political activist commits a crime, they should face consequences under existing laws."
"BNP does not endorse acts of vandalism or arson, nor do we support the harassment of individuals who have committed no crime,” Rizvi added.
Rizvi made the remarks while speaking to reporters after visiting the home of widow Asma in Nagarkanda upazila of Faridpur district on Monday.
He said that Tarique Rahman, the BNP's acting chairperson, instructed him to visit Asma’s home promptly and take action against the alleged leader.
Reaffirming BNP's commitment to peaceful coexistence, he added: “Recently, we witnessed incidents of arson and vandalism linked to a political party in Dhaka and Khulna. We strongly condemn these actions.”
Rizvi warned that anyone involved in such acts, regardless of political affiliation, will face consequences.
"Criminals will not be spared, even if they are BNP leaders or activists," he said.
On behalf of BNP, Rizvi extended financial support to Asma.
