Arrange election to thwart Hasina's 'dangerous plan': Rizvi
BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi urged the government today (16 February) to arrange the national election soon to thwart Sheikh Hasina's "dangerous plan".
"Sheikh Hasina is lurking with a dangerous plan. The national election must be held soon to thwart this conspiracy," he said.
Rizvi said this after paying tribute to BNP founder Ziaur Rahman by placing a wreath at his grave along with party leaders and activists from various districts.

Claiming that the Yunus government is delaying the election, he said the nation is eagerly waiting for a free, fair, and neutral election.
The BNP leader said the demand for holding local government elections before the national election is an ill-motive behaviour from several political parties.
He said the government must be given a final deadline for elections to restore democracy for which so many lives were lost.
Rizvi said the necessary reforms should be completed quickly before the election.
