News Desk: BNP Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed has claimed that deep conspiracies are underway behind the scenes to delay the upcoming national parliamentary election.

He made these remarks on Thursday (July 17) during a pre-rally gathering organized by the Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Krishak Dal in front of the BNP central office in Nayapaltan, Dhaka. The rally was held in protest against the defamation of martyred President Ziaur Rahman's image and the use of offensive remarks against BNP’s Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman.

He said, "Some parties do not believe in democratic politics. They do not want fair elections in the country because they lack the capacity to win through voting."

He further added, "For the past 16 years, Tarique Rahman has been leading the movement against fascism. Under his capable leadership, the downfall of autocracy took place on August 5 last year. Yet, using a premeditated murder incident in Mitford as a pretext, leaders of certain political parties are making reckless statements against Tarique Rahman. This is extremely unfortunate and unwarranted."
