BNP’s 7 leaders invited to join Padma Bridge inaugural ceremony

The government on Wednesday invited seven leaders of opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party to join the Padma Bridge inaugural ceremony, scheduled to be held on June 25.

Dulal Chandra Sutradhar, a deputy secretary of the Bridges Division of the road transport and bridges ministry, handed over the invitation cards to BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi at the BNP central office at Naya Paltan in Dhaka at about 11:00am.

The leaders who were given the cards include BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, standing committee members Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, Mirza Abbas, Gayeshwar Chandra Roy, Abdul Moin Khan, Nazrul Islam Khan and vice-chairman Hafiz Uddin Khan.

Dulal said that he was not aware whether any other BNP leader would be given the invitation card.

He said that the BNP leaders had received the letters and expected that the invited leaders would attend the programme.

Rizvi said that a deputy secretary gave the invitation cards to the BNP office when he was present there. ‘I don’t want to make any comment on this. We have no interest in it,’ he said.

Replying to a question, he said that there was no reason for their party leaders to take part in the ceremony.
