BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said, "Those of us who do opposition politics cannot sleep at night." Our condition is crocodile tiger in the water. Even then we stand by the people in various disasters.
He was speaking as the chief guest at a distribution of winter clothes at Salna Islamia Fazil Madrasa ground in Gazipur on the occasion of Ziaur Rahman's 85th birth anniversary at 11am on Saturday.
Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said, BNP leaders and workers are tortured and neglected today. There are 30 to 40 cases against some and 100 to 150 cases against others. Some are in jail. Many were released a day or two ago. Those of us who speak of the ideals of Shaheed Zia, who trust in the leadership of the country's leader Khaleda Zia, who are following the leadership of Tareq Rahman, are spending our days and nights in a kind of horror. Nevertheless, the BNP leaders and workers are by the side of the people in their misery.
Gazipur Mahanagar BNP vice-president Bir Muktijoddha Nazim Uddin presided over the function and Mahanagar BNP joint secretary councilor Tanbir Ahmed conducted the function.
