BNP
leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Monday alleged that the government is giving
promotions to the officials involved in enforced disappearance and murders.
"Based
on the Prime Minister's offer for tea, I would like to say the US State
Department imposed sanctions on some officials for indulging in enforced
disappearances and extrajudicial killings. But what did you (PM) do? You have
recently promoted two people who are involved in such disappearance and
murder,” he said.
Speaking
at a human chain programme, he also said those who carry out the act of
disappearance and murder in favour of the government are called Sheikh Hasina's
`death squad'.
Stating
that an ancient Greek philosopher was killed by giving him hemlock juice, Rizvi
said, "You (Sheikh Hasina) are offering tea. There’s a question in
people's minds what will be there in Sheikh Hasina's cups of tea? Whether there
will be the juice of hemlock in that tea? Because we saw how she dealt with the
opposition in the past."
He
alleged that the current government has made disappearances, crossfires and
killings a part of politics in running the state. “Everyone knows who are
involved in killings and crossfire. In today's era of technology, everyone is
also monitoring it internationally.”
Jatiyatabadi
Ulema Dal arranged the human chain programme in front of the Jatiya Press Club
protesting the hike in prices of daily essentials and indecent comments against
BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman by a ruling party leader.
Earlier
on Saturday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said she would offer BNP leaders to
tea if they come to besiege her office (Prime Minister's Office).
"I
will listen to them – whatever they want to say. I believe in democracy,"
she said while speaking at a meeting of Awami League's Dhaka North and South
units.
Rizvi,
the senior BNP joint secretary general, said the PM’s soft tone like offering
tea to the protesters is not a good sign. “Why is your voice suddenly so soft?
It's a strange thing. When the tone of your voice weakens, it is an indication
that some more terrible torture is coming down on the opposition.”
Recalling
that Hasina asked BNP to send the list of cases to her before the 2018
election, he said, “Then we saw you filed cases against us more extensively.”
The
BNP leader alleged that the PM is allowing the plundering of public money in
the name of mega projects as she has no love for people._UNB
