BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said, \u2018Politics should be in the hands of politicians. If someone else comes, they will not understand the realization that the air needs to be clean, the water needs to be clean.\u2019 He said these things as the chief guest at a prayer meeting organized for the peace of BNP National Executive Committee member Saiful Islam Patu at Bhashani Bhaban in Nayapaltan today, Sunday (November 23).
\nRizvi said, \u2018About 95 percent of the buildings in the RAJUK area of \u200b\u200bDhaka city are built without permission and RAJUK is turning a blind eye. If we cannot improve from this situation, then we will move towards emptiness. Then we will no longer have a livable Bangladesh, a livable world.\u2019 He said, \u2018We have to achieve through the earthquake, the time has come for all those who do politics to achieve. If we cannot do that, then we will be lost in an empty hole. Let us build a livable Bangladesh and a livable world.\u2019
\nThe BNP leader blamed the ruling class for Dhaka\u2019s environmental disaster and unplanned urbanization, saying, \u2018In 1997-98, there was a canal in front of the Paltan office, but now it is not there. For those who are urban planners, the environment, clean air, canals and rivers are the enemies. Otherwise, why was it not kept clean and tidy instead of closing the Dholaikhal?\u2019
\nHe said, \u2018Karwan Bazar of the Mughal era. There was a river here. Once upon a time, sailboats used to come. Ships used to come. We did not protect this river, we did not think about it. We quickly filled it up, occupied the space. Without any plan, we will build houses here, give them rent or sell them and earn money. They are selling their village land and buying flats in Dhaka. People want to become big people very quickly. They do not want to keep that huge paddy field, that river, that pond anymore. Money is considered a god. That is why today we are facing natural disasters. This is why we say, leave politics to the politicians, who are doing politics. If anyone else comes here, they will not understand that achievement.’
\nRizvi paid deep respect to the late leader Saiful Islam Patu and said, ‘Patu was a ‘party-crazy’ worker, who survived a serious illness and became active in the party’s programs and processions again. There was nothing wrong with his sweat, his courageous role for his party.’ He said, ‘I saw him running by my side even during Hasina’s 14 and a half years of aggression, police firing and horrific lathicharge. Many dedicated, hardworking and talented leaders like Patu do not get the due appreciation in the society.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
