BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Wednesday alleged that the deposed autocratic ruler Sheikh Hasina often issues various threats against the country and its people, much like an invisible female ‘ghost’.

While inaugurating a free eye care camp at Banani in the capital, he said the people of the country will never accept a bloodthirsty person like Hasina, whom they ousted through a mass movement.

“You (Hasina) were an illegal Prime Minister. Now, you have become a female ghost. The threats of a female ghost can be heard, but they remain invisible,” the BNP leader said.

He said that audios containing Hasina’s various threats often go viral, but it remains unclear from where she is issuing these threats. “You once said you were very close to the country, but now you have no trace, like a female ghost living in a tree.”

Rizvi said Sheikh Hasina fled the country, but her anger still has not subsided. “Why should her anger subside, when Bangladesh was a goldmine for the Sheikh family? She has lost that goldmine.”

He said the members of the Sheikh family and their allies have siphoned off vast amounts of money from Bangladesh through plundering.

The BNP leader said that Hasina’s remarks, revealed through the audio clips, show she is desperate to reclaim her lost fortune. “The audio clips also expose that she feels no regret, no sorrow in her heart; she is not saddened.”

He said that Sheikh Hasina abandoned her companions and fled with her sister like a selfish person in the face of the student-led mass uprising.

Under the guidance of BNP Acting Chairman, 'Amra BNP Paribar' organised the free eye care camp with renowned ophthalmologists to provide eye services to people who lost their vision or suffered eye injuries during the July-August mass movement, as well as to assist the poor.

Rizvi also said Hasina has long been playing a bloody game with the people of Bangladesh and is still trying to continue it.

“But once the throne of looters and fascists collapses, it cannot be fixed. Otherwise, figures like Hitler, Mussolini, and other autocratic rulers could rise again. A bloodthirsty killer like Sheikh Hasina has no chance of returning to power in this country. You are a bloodthirsty woman who has quenched her thirst by spilling the blood of children,” he said.

The BNP leader said Sheikh Hasina had given Bangladesh's independence and sovereignty as a hostage to neighbouring countries just to cling to power. “Now, the only demand of the people is that all agreements signed by Sheikh Hasina from 2009 to August 5, 2024, should be made public by the interim government. Only then can we see the extent of the damage she has done to the country.”

Rizvi also stated that Sheikh Hasina has no patriotism and has always been more inclined to favour India.
