AL using Cyber Security Act as a weapon to humiliate opposition: Rizvi

Online Desk

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Sunday said the Awami League government is using the Cyber Security Act as a tool to suppress the opposition’s leaders and activists.

He made the comments in a discussion programme to mark the ninth founding anniversary of Zia Cyber Force as a chief guest at BNP Nayapalton central office.

"As a politician we are used to prison one or twice in a year. During my jail life I have met a lot of young inmates who were jailed for writing against the misrule of AL," he said.

Even women are not safe from the AL rage as a Jagannath University (JnU) female student's case shows, Rizvi said.

"I strongly believe that those who are active in social media are more genius than others.," Rizvi said.
