In a recent address, BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Advocate Ruhul Kabir Rizvi called on the interim government, led by Dr. Muhammad Yunus, to annul all secret agreements made between the previous Awami League government and India over the past 15 years.

Rizvi's statement reflects growing concerns within the BNP regarding the implications of these undisclosed deals.

Speaking at an event organized by the Kafrul Thana BNP on Saturday morning (August 24), Rizvi criticized the former government under Sheikh Hasina, labeling it as tyrannical and accusing it of compromising Bangladesh's sovereignty.

"The tyrannical Hasina government must cancel all the secret agreements it has made with India over the past 15 years," Rizvi stated.

He further referenced a recent remark made by an Indian actress, who suggested that India had lost its influence over a previously compliant country. 

Rizvi claimed that the actress was alluding to Bangladesh under Sheikh Hasina's rule, which he accused of undermining democracy, rigging elections, and appointing MPs without proper electoral processes.

"Sheikh Hasina, who has buried the democracy of this country, is the person whom India supports—not Bangladesh. They do not support the people of Bangladesh," Rizvi asserted.

During his speech, Rizvi also commented on the regrets expressed by Awami League leaders, indicating that they now recognize the mistakes of their administration.

"People are now calling Awami League the 'Party of Regrets,'" he remarked, pointing to the party's inability to continue exploiting the country's resources through its youth and student wings.

Rizvi portrayed the BNP as a party of integrity, representing the interests of the working class and the general public. "The BNP is a party of gentlemen, a party of the people, a party of the hardworking laborers of this country.

The BNP is not a party of thugs or terrorists," he emphasized, noting the party's resilience in the face of severe oppression over the past 15 years.

Rizvi did not mince words when discussing former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, accusing her of a lack of humanity and a brutal approach to maintaining power.

"Former illegal Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has no humanity; there is no human blood in her veins. She has tried to stay in power by shedding blood, leaving bodies in the streets," Rizvi charged.

The BNP spokesperson urged party members to uphold peace and order, reflecting the ideals of their leader Begum Khaleda Zia and national leader Tarique Rahman.

He assured that the BNP would not repeat the culture of corruption and violence that he attributed to the Awami League's tenure.

Addressing neighboring India directly, Rizvi questioned their continued support for Sheikh Hasina despite her controversial rule.

"Does India not know the extent of the oppression Sheikh Hasina has inflicted on the people of Bangladesh over the past 15 years?" he asked, calling on India to respect Bangladesh's sovereignty and the will of its people.

The event, presided over by Akram Hossain Babul, also featured speeches from Dhaka Metropolitan North Convener Saiful Alam Nirob, BNP National Executive Committee members Tariqul Alam Tenzing and Mahbubul Islam, former Jubo Dal Vice President Ruhul Amin Akil, Mehebub Masum Shanto, Zakir Hossain, Talukdar Rumi, and other local leaders and activists.

Following the speeches, Rizvi distributed donations to the families affected by the student-public movement.
