Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, BNP Senior Joint Secretary, said on Tuesday (2 April), BNP will not allow Bangladesh to become another Kashmir.
"Neighbouring India kills Bangladeshis like birds on the border. India wants to control Bangladesh and wants to be its master. Bangladesh will not be made into a subservient state. People will not allow it to happen. We will not allow Bangladesh to become another Kashmir," said Rizvi.
"The world failed to recognise Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's illegitimate national elections – be it 2014, 2018 or the 2024 elections. But our neighbouring countries, who claim to be democratic countries, are advocating for a party (Awami League) all over the world, trying to legitimise such elections."
He also alleged, "They don't believe in Bangladesh's independence and sovereignty. They just want a party in Bangladesh to be in power and control them. That is why people are protesting against them and boycotting their products."
Warning that Bangladeshis have already been affected by a famine, he criticised the prime minister for allegedly claiming that Bangladesh has developed like Europe, and that the country has surpassed Singapore.
"Whereas, what we see in the media is a mother going to the market to sell her child. The sound of beggars and people begging for food can be heard all around. We have never seen so many beggars on the streets," he said.
