"The government is orchestrating a drama of militancy, eyeing the 7 January national election to deprive people of their right to vote," said the BNP senior leader.
Rizvi called upon democratic countries to raise their voices against the "Awami League's one-sided dummy election," urging them not to pay heed to Sheikh Hasina's propaganda about militancy.
"Come forward to establish humanity in the country. The people of Bangladesh want democracy," said Rizvi.
He said, "The administration is busy contemplating a strategy on how to conduct the election so that the countrymen cannot realise that it was a staged election.
"The mafia gang is busy plotting a strategy to hike essential prices, capitalising on the crisis situation, while the people of the country are struggling to survive," said Rizvi.
