Rizvi urges unity over sovereignty

 
BNP Acting Secretary General and Prime Minister's Political Adviser Advocate Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Wednesday called for national unity to resist alleged conspiracies against Bangladesh's independence and sovereignty.

Speaking at a human chain and protest rally in front of the National Press Club, Rizvi said a new political environment had emerged following 2024 July Uprising and 2025 national election.

He said the BNP and its alliance are running the state under Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's leadership, while parliamentary democracy is taking shape.

The rally, organised by Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Muktijoddha Dal and Muktijoddha Projonmo, protested an alleged conspiracy against Bangladesh's independence and sovereignty involving ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
