4,108 'fictitious' cases filed against 3.5 lakh BNP men in Sept: Rizvi
BNP yesterday alleged that around 3.58 lakh leaders and activists of the party have been accused in about 4,108 "ghostly" cases in September alone.
“Like the government, police now have turned into a non-factual data production factory. As per the information we have so far, around 4,108 cases were filed in the last month, accusing 3.58 lakh people," said BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
Speaking at a press conference in BNP's Nayapaltan central office, he said at least 4,483 leaders and activists of their party were arrested during the same period.
Rizvi criticised Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader for his comments that a case was filed with Hatirjheel Police Station against top BNP leaders on charge of plotting subversive activities, saying it is a false and fabricated allegation.
He alleged that the government is using law enforcers like its party cadres to suppress political opponents.
The BNP leader also slammed prime minister's adviser HT Imam for what he said was providing "weird" information that Awami League has 42 percent vote while BNP has 30 percent.
“Where did he get such fictitious statistics? People are eager to know whether this bizarre information is produced by him or by Prime Minister's ICT Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy,” he quipped.
Rizvi said HT Imam urged the ruling party leaders and activists to be aggressive while carrying out election campaign. “It's not only against the election code of conduct, but also tantamount to instigating Awami League leaders and activists to indulge in violence.”
