The BSMMU authorities asked the crowds to disperse through loudspeaker as the country is under a virtual lockdown with strict measures imposed for social distancing to stop the spread of the virus. “Please take care of your own health,” Rizvi, the senior joint secretary general of the BNP, told the leaders and activists at the time. Don’t crowd here unnecessarily. I request the leaders and activists to be in isolation and not to crowd here,” he added. Rizvi also said the party would make arrangements to keep Khaleda at her home following the instructions of the World Health Organization and doctors for her safety.
