BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Monday vowed to ensure due respect for those killed during the July uprising, should his party be elected to power.
He emphasized gratitude towards the martyrs and injured participants of the student-led movement, proposing that their sacrifices be commemorated by naming roads and structures after them to preserve their legacy.
He said this while speaking as the chief guest at a program organized by "Amra BNP Paribar", an organization that works within the party to look after the well-being of the families of activists.
He said: "If you dig a hole for others, you yourself will fall into that hole, proof of which is the fascist Sheikh Hasina. She herself fell into the hole while trying to establish the Baksal built by her father."
He further said that Sheikh Hasina had kept the national leader Begum Khaleda Zia in prison without any crime.
She believed that her master, the Indian government, would help her remain in power, but it could not, added Rizvi.
The BNP leader also said that Hasina used to criticize Tarique Rahman for publishing video messages.
"Today, Sheikh Hasina herself is continuing her mischief through video messages on Facebook and YouTube. Where has her bravery gone," he questioned.
