He stated that the fascist Sheikh Hasina government has not spared anyone, including children, teenagers, or youths. Rizvi accused the Awami League of establishing a one-family rule, ensuring that the words of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman were prominently featured in textbooks, overshadowing the contributions of others. He further claimed that the Awami League government has done everything possible to maintain its hold on power. Rizvi also mentioned that individuals like Benazir and Harun were created during the Awami League regime to target citizens. He assured that the sacrifices of martyrs like Nafiz would not be forgotten, as efforts would be made to build a democratic Bangladesh that upholds justice.
