Rizvi made these remarks at an event organized by the 'Zia Smrity Pathagar' at the TSC auditorium of Dhaka University. He highlighted that Bangladeshis living abroad include supporters of various political parties, ordinary citizens, and apolitical individuals, questioning the authority behind the threat to shut down remittances.

He encouraged organizing essay competitions on the Liberation War and Ziaur Rahman in educational institutions.
