DHAKA, Oct 8, 2024 (BSS) - Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed today called upon the government to post meritorious officials who supported the democracy-loving people in various positions.
 
"If cohorts of the ousted dictator persist in administration, they can push the country towards danger," he told journalists while distributing leaflets for raising awareness campaign for dengue prevention in the capital's Gulshan area.
 
He said: "You (interim govt) will definitely show generosity and humanity. But if the autocrat's accomplices, who didn't show any humanity or generosity and encouraged Sheikh Hasina to crack down on agitating students and people, persist in administration, they will create barriers in every step of you."
 
Rizvi urged the government to immediately identify the dictator's cohorts in administration and post the meritorious officials, who supported the democracy loving people or stay neutral during the students-led mass movement, in different positions in administration.
 
If the cohorts are not removed from their positions, they will take the country towards danger, he said, adding that "lords of a special superpower" are behind them.
 
Getting patronization and shelter from the force, the cohorts are still persisting in their positions and continuing to make evil designs against the interim government, said the BNP leader.

Rizvi urged all to remain alert so that deposed dictator cannot take rebirth and no more mothers have to lose their children.

Sheikh Hasina’s resurgence or re-emergence will turn the country into a horrific killing ground, he said.

In this regard, the interim government should go forward towards a free, fair and neutral election after making required reforms immediately, he observed.

He said the party which comes to state power through fair elections will also have to work quickly with utmost honesty.

The interim government led by Chief Adviser Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus will have to create this path and ground, he said.

The BNP leader said the government will have to be careful so that they don’t need long time to create such path.

About Tapasi Tabassum Urmi, executive magistrate of Lalmonirhat district administration, Rizvi said Urmi described Abu Sayeed, a brave youth who embraced martyrdom for democracy, as a terrorist and troublemaker.

Officials like Urmi are still holding various ranks in administration, he added.
Rizvi said everyone knows how the cohorts of dictator will make their evil efforts in secretariat, court and even remote areas to foil the government of mass upsurge.

Pointing to the officials who are being promoted and posted in administration, he said: “If you think that as you were deprived in the previous period and now you will also get involved in corruption likewise cohorts of the dictator, the nation will fall in darkness forever and the fallen dictator will attempt to return in various ways.”

Rizvi said Sajeeb Wazed Joy hired a lobbyist firm abroad for advocating for them.
This is not a light thing rather it is provocative one, he added.

BNP Health Affairs Secretary Dr Zahidul Kabir, its executive committee member Nazim Uddin Alam, Swechchhasebak Dal leader Dr Jahidul Kabir, Jubo Dal leaders Mehbub Masum Shanto, Arifur Rahman Tushar, Chhatra Dal leader Dr Abdul Awal, Masudur Rahman Masud, Raju Ahmed were present, among others.
