BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi yesterday alleged that the interim government is appointing members of a specific Islamic political party to important positions, including deputy commissioners (DCs) and superintendents of police (SPs).

In a press briefing at the party’s central office in Nayapaltan, he also claimed that officers with ties to the Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal during their student life have been sidelined or kept as OSDs, despite being recruited based on merit.

He said many of these officials often visit him, in tears, after being assigned to less important roles despite their earlier achievements.

Rizvi also accused Mokhles Ur Rahman, who was recently transferred from the public administration ministry to the Planning Commission, of depriving pro-BNP officials of proper positions by bringing false allegations against them and blaming them unjustly.

“Another political party’s people are being appointed as DCs and SPs. I can name them one by one -- those who claim to be Islamists, their supporters, and like-minded individuals from that specific party have been placed in these roles,” Rizvi claimed.
