"‘Fascist forces plotting chaos with black money’
BNP Acting Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Tuesday alleged that forces ousted from power were using illicit money, accumulated and laundered during the Awami League’s rule, to fuel unrest, bombings and sabotage across the country.
He claimed that the “defeated fascist forces” were attempting to destabilise Bangladesh and obstruct its progress, urging democratic political parties and the public to remain vigilant.

Rizvi alleged that individuals associated with the former Awami League government had accumulated enormous amounts of illegal wealth, much of which had been smuggled abroad.
However, he claimed that substantial sums remained inside the country and were now being used to finance attempts to create instability.
“Defeated fascist forces are trying to create anarchy, bombings and sabotage using black money. Democratic political parties and the people must remain alert day and night,” he said.
The BNP leader claimed that the government and law enforcement agencies were closely monitoring the situation and thwarting alleged conspiracies one after another.
He did not present evidence to substantiate the allegations."
