Press Release
16 August 2024

I, the undersigned, Advocate Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, Senior Joint Secretary General of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party - BNP, hereby inform all levels of party leaders and activists that certain vested interest groups have forged my signature and posted a press release on social media platform Facebook on 14 August 2024. The press release posted on Facebook is completely false, fabricated, and motivated by ill intentions. The fake press release is as follows:

“Until further notice, all BNP leaders and activists who have defied party decisions and participated in the national and Upazila Parishad elections organized by the fascist Sheikh Hasina and all other local elections, and those against whom there are clear accusations of active participation in campaigning for these sham elections, are requested to maintain no organizational relationship with such individuals at any level. This decision is instructed to be followed accordingly.”

The mentioned press release was not sent to the media from the BNP office under my signature. It is entirely fabricated and fake.

I urge all party leaders and activists not to be misled by the fake press release circulated with my forged signature on social media platform Facebook on 14 August 2024.

(Advocate Ruhul Kabir Rizvi)
Senior Joint Secretary General
Bangladesh Nationalist Party — BNP.
