People using fake NIDs to collect nomination forms in BNP leaders' name: Rizvi
People are using fake National Identity Cards (NID) and collecting nomination forms for the upcoming polls in the name of various BNP leaders, BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Advocate Ruhul Kabir Rizvi alleged.
"The government is using fake NID cards and buying nomination forms in the names of various BNP leaders and activists," Rizvi claimed in a virtual press conference on Tuesday (28 November).
"Narayanganj district BNP president Gias Uddin's NID card was hacked and nomination form was bought in his name. And he knew nothing about it. Later, he held a press conference and protested against such an incident," Rizvi said.
