\"rizvi-bnp34\"Dhaka desk: Claiming that people have no involvement with the government\u2019s \u2018Democracy Development Fair\u2019, BNP on Tuesday alleged that arranging such a fair is nothing but a deception with people.<\/p>\n

\u201cPartisan officials and administration are being forced to observe Democracy\u2019s Development Fair in all districts and upazilas across the country. Common people have no involvement with the fair arranged by trampling democracy,\u201d said BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a press conference at BNP\u2019s Nayapaltan central office, he further said, \u201cPeople think such a fair is a digital farce of the voter-less government as they have no mental peace, money, food and security both at home and outside. Under the circumstances, the development fair could be called as nothing, but a deception with people.\u201d<\/p>\n

A three-day fair titled \u2018Development Fair\u2019 is being held in all districts and upazilas of the country on January 9-11 to display the ongoing development successes and incorporate people with government\u2019s development activities.<\/p>\n

Various government and non-government organisations, banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions have taken part in the fair arranged with support from the Prime Minister\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Rizvi likened the \u2018Democracy\u2019s Development Fair\u2019 of the current government with the development festival held during Pakistani military dictator Ayub Khan.<\/p>\n

\u201cDevelopment decade had been observed in schools during Ayub Khan\u2019s rule during the Pakistan period. Military ruler Ayub Khan had arranged development\u2019s decade festival in 1968, but he could not escape his fall as he was overthrown through a wave of mass upsurge,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n

The BNP leader alleged that the current Sheikh Hasina-led government is now following the models of different autocratic rulers like Ayub Khan.<\/p>\n

He also criticised the government for changing the name of Pirojpur\u2019s Zianagar upazila, saying it has demonstrated the government\u2019s aggressive political vengeance.<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday\u2019s (Monday\u2019s) cabinet decision regarding the change of the name of Zianagar Upazila is politically motivated one… it\u2019s devoid of courtesy and an uncivilised attitude. The government has manifested its meanness through it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He strongly protested and denounced the government\u2019s move and demanded the government shelve its plan to change the name.unb<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
