Bangladesh Administrative Service Association General Secretary and Water Resources Secretary Kabir Bin Anwar has also served Rizvi with a legal notice. Advocate AM Amin Uddin, who sent the notice on Kabir’s behalf, said Rizvi would be sued if he did not retract the comments within 24 hours. No such meeting took place on that day,” the lawyer said in the notice, adding the claims have defamed his client. Abu Nayeem Mohammed Maruf Khan, PS to the Prime Minister’s Office secretary, and Kazi Nishat Rasul, APS-I to the prime minister, have also issued statements protesting Rizvi’s claims. Nishat also criticised the media for publishing Rizvi’s claims before contacting for comments the people who the BNP leader alleged were in the “secret meeting”.
