AL mocking flood victims: BNP

Awami League is mocking with the flood-affected victims, political opposition BNP alleged today.

Awami League leaders are running to Bangabhaban instead of standing by flood victims, the party’s Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said in a press briefing at Nayapaltan.

“Government says, there is no shortage of food. But the food storages are empty. Most of the districts are inundated and they (AL) are ravaging with Supreme Court verdict,” he said.

“It is as if the Awami League leaders are mocking with the lakhs of flood victims,” Rizvi said. “They are trying to divert the people’s attention from the disaster.”

The BNP leader also asked all its activists, supporters and followers to come forward and stand beside the flood victims.
