BNP Acting Secretary General Advocate Ruhul Kabir Rizvi yesterday said ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s request for a fresh passport and National Identity Card (NID) is a shameless act.
One can undertake such an action only if the person has no sense of shame, said Rizvi, also the Prime Minister’s Political Adviser.
He questioned, “How could Sheikh Hasina expect to return to the country and receive a public reception after indiscriminately killing students, children, workers and ordinary people for years?”
Rizvi added Sheikh Hasina is now shamelessly seeking support from foreign entities to return to the country.
He, however, said the law will follow its own course regarding the matter.
Rizvi made the comments while addressing a discussion as chief guest, marking the National Revolution and Solidarity Day at the Kazi Nazrul Islam Auditorium of the National Press Club here this noon.
The Zia Parishad organised the programme, with its acting chairman and Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Md Abdul Latif in the chair.
Rizvi said Sheikh Hasina might have forgotten the July uprising but the people of Bangladesh will never forget.
The nation will always remember the sacrifices of young people, including Abu Sayed and Mir Mugdha, during the 2024 uprising, he added.
Recalling the historic November 7, Rizvi said its spirit inspires people to resist authoritarianism, protect their rights and uphold the country’s independence and sovereignty.
