BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Monday said if the fallen dictator is rehabilitated, the people will not be able to live in the country.

“If those who created the culture of enforced disappearances and killings and Ayna Ghar (secret prison) are rehabilitated, then people will not be able to live in this country," he said.

 Rizvi made the remarks while talking to reporters during the distribution of BNP’s leaflets among people to raise awareness for preventing dengue in the city’s Elephant Road area.

He said if the fallen dictator is rehabilitated, this country will be the sanctuary of killers. “It would be a graveyard of democracy, freedom of speech and freedom of expression forever here,” he claimed, asking all to be alert against the dictator.

The BNP leader questioned the appointment of a new foreign secretary saying that when the person was the Bangladesh Ambassador to Qatar used to harass BNP supporters and didn’t renew their visas considering their political affiliation.

“If those who have played an active role in suppressing the opposition by supporting fascists like Sheikh Hasina are placed in important positions today, if they are appointed as secretaries of important ministries like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then this government will face questions," he said.

He said they respect Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus, but he needs to look into this matter and uphold the trust of people in him. “Who is making the ambassador in Qatar as the foreign secretary?” said Rizvi.

BNP's volunteer affairs secretary Mir Sharafat Ali Sapu and its health affairs secretary Dr Rafiqul Islam, were, among others, present.

On Sunday last, BNP started a leaflet distribution campaign to raise public awareness for preventing dengue in different places of the capital.
