BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Advocate Ruhul Kabir Rizvi today demanded that all people involved in forcibly occupying others' land and siphoning off money abroad must be brought to justice.

He made the remarks while addressing a rally at Garpara village in Sadar upazila during a visit to the residence of artist Manobendra Ghose.

Rizvi alleged that those who set fire to the house of Manobendra Ghose because of his artistic works were beneficiaries of the autocratic Awami League government.

He also accused Awami League leaders and activists of hatching conspiracy and spending money to create unrest across the country. 

Manikganj BNP district convener Afroza Khanam Rita, along with several district and upazila-level leaders and activists, were present at the event.

On behalf of BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman, Rizvi handed over financial assistance to the family members of Manobendra Ghose.

Some unidentified miscreants set fire to the residence of Manabendra Ghosh located in the Ghosh Bazar area of Garpara Union in Manikganj Police Station in the early hours of April 16, destroying his semi-concrete house in Garpara union and destroyed 30 of his sculptures.
