Rizvi slams govt for silence over push-ins by India

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Sunday slammed India for pushing its citizens into Bangladesh and criticized the interim government for remaining silent, accusing it of following Sheikh Hasina's policy.

“India is pushing its people through borders, including today through Satkhira, Kurigram, Khagrachari, and Moulvibazar. This is a great injustice being done by the neighbouring country,” Rizvi said while addressing a rally.

The Bangladesh Nationalist Buddhist Forum organized the program in front of the Jatiya Press Club, marking Buddha Purnima, the biggest religious festival of the Buddhist community.

The BNP leader voiced concern that the government is not lodging a strong protest against what he termed an unfair move by India.

“The interim government has not said a single word about this. Where is Khoda Bakhsh, where is the home affairs adviser’s office, and where is the government? Why is the government not taking any action in this regard?” he said.

The BNP leader questioned whether the interim government is making Bangladesh a weak nation—a country that was liberated through the sacrifice of 30 lakh lives, where 1,500 youths and children laid down their lives for the cause of democracy.

“In that country, a neighbour is pushing its people through various borders as they wish, and you are silent and not saying a word. You are doing exactly what Sheikh Hasina has done,” he said.

During her rule, Rizvi said, Sheikh Hasina would not utter a word even if people were killed along the border.

“But this interim government, which has been supported by all democratic political parties in the country, remains silent. How dare they push their people into our country through the border? I strongly condemn and protest it,” Rizvi said.
