, Oct. 11 -- BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Saturday alleged that a deep-rooted conspiracy is underway within the state apparatus to undermine the achievements of August 5.

He made the remarks while addressing a primary membership collection and form distribution programme organised by the Metropolitan BNP at Rajbari Ground in Gazipur.

He claimed that efforts are being made to bring back individuals who had fled to neighbouring countries.
