Public servants forced to join rally: BNP

BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi yesterday alleged that the government is using the public servants for political purposes like that of the 1975 Baksal regime, reports UNB. Speaking at a human chain programme, he also said the government has committed a mistake by forcing the public servants to join the Suhrawardy Udyan rally marking the international recognition of the historic 7th March speech of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. "The Cabinet Secretary has issued a written order asking all government officials and employees to be present at Suhrawardy Udyan today (Saturday) as the Prime Minister is scheduled to address there. It's an unjust act to send the public servants with threat to a political rally or a reception," the BNP leader said.
