The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party on Wednesday said that the government was creating various issues to divert people鈥檚 attention form the anti-state agreement with other countries.
鈥楾he rail corridor agreement with India is a threat to Bangladesh鈥檚 sovereignty as聽 the government of India will carry military equipment by train and the country will use Bangladesh to deal with its eastern states,鈥� BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi聽said while addressing a prayer session for recovery of its ailing chairperson Khaleda Zia in the capital鈥檚 Rampura.
Rizvi ridiculed the Awami League-led government as an issue lover.
He said that this government brought out one issue after another, all of which it did to divert attention from the anti-national agreement.
Addressing prime minister Sheikh Hasina, he asked whether or not she was already aware of the corruption by the National Board of Revenue officials before the corruption of its officials Matiur and Faisal was revealed and also about the question papers leak.
鈥楽o what do your detectives do? Are they solely busy in making the opposition leaders and activists disappear?鈥� he said.
Criticising the government, he said that whenever the citizens of the country were tortured and killed at the border this government did not protest.
鈥楾he government is providing a rail corridor through Bangladesh for India鈥檚 benefit.聽 India will use the land of Bangladesh to deal with the political crisis there. In other words, they are trying to cast Bangladesh into the perpetual international conspiracy and game,鈥� he alleged.
He also said that the government was plotting to kill former three-time prime minister Khaleda Zia. Khaleda Zia never compromised with any dictator in politics, Rizvi said.
