Rizvi blames AL, associates for RMG unrest

BNP acting secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has blamed fugitive Awami League and its associates for creating unrest in the RMG and other sectors.

Rizvi made the claim at a press briefing held at the party central office in the capital’s Naya Paltan on Friday noon.

Reyplying to a question, Rizvi said, “Discussions have been held and issues have been solved earlier regarding fair demands by the workers. However, the violent incidents including factory vandalism, torching police boxes and vehicles and beating a worker to death have no relations with the workers’ protests.”

During the briefing, Rizvi urged the opposition parties not to create conflicting situations to achieve political objectives, warning that provoking the already-existing tension might become harmful for all sides.
