BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Friday questioned why the interim government has not acted against those, including Justice ABM Khairul Haque, ex-Chief Election Commissioner Kazi Rakibuddin Ahmad and KM Nurul Huda, who aided Sheikh Hasina in establishing fascism.

“Why are those responsible for establishing fascism still at large? Why haven’t those who destroyed institutions and used their entrusted positions to serve Sheikh Hasina and entrench fascism been arrested yet?” he said.

The BNP leader made the remarks while speaking at an event organised by “Amra BNP Poribar” to provide financial assistance to the mother of Abdullah Bin Jahid, who was martyred during the July mass uprising, at the BNP chairperson’s Gulshan office.

Rizvi alleged that ABM Khairul Haque obstructed the continuity of democracy, paved the way for the rise of a tyrant like Sheikh Hasina and assisted in establishing a brutal fascist regime.
