The fire at the Secretariat is making people think, raising questions in public, said BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
He said this at a discussion meeting on 'Bloody Motihar and Rizvi Ahmed', 22 December 1984, organized by the Rajshahi University Nationalist Ex-Student Association at Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) on Thursday (December 26) afternoon.
He said, we have seen before that when there is public protest against a secretary or a minister, the files of the Secretariat disappear; the files in the Secretariat catch fire. The fire that broke out at midnight yesterday, I don't want to say anything funny, many documents were burnt in this fire; one incident raises doubts in another incident. Yesterday I saw in the newspaper that the government has asked for some important documents. After asking for these documents, the fire happened late last night; this is a big question for the people. I want to say this about this, a high-level investigation committee should investigate. Because yesterday, after Hasina and her friends were asked for some documents, many documents in the secretariat were burned and the fire in the secretariat is making people think, it is creating questions in the public mind.
Mentioning that many people have talked about reforms after coming to power, the BNP senior joint secretary general said, we have seen Moinuddin, Fakhruddin before. This reform, that reform will be done. He has done some reforms in the Election Commission; he has also revised the RPO. What did we see through this? Through this, we saw that a vile dictator like Sheikh Hasina has kept the country in hell for 15 years. He has laundered 28 lakh crore taka. Sheikh Hasina, her family and her friends have laundered this money.
We have seen the face of that reform. We have seen the process of that reform. He also mentioned that a monster like Hasina was sitting on us through the process of that reform.
Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said, "We cannot say what form this reform will take, what stage it will take us. The form of the Cyber Security Ordinance that we see today does not look good to me. It seems to me that there is some black substance in the pulse. We are worried, we are afraid of various incidents around us. Not for personal fear, but for the security of the state." BNP Standing Committee member Nazrul Islam Khan, Chairperson's Adviser Habibur Rahman Habib and others were also present at the discussion meeting.
