Noting that Rana Plaza incident is tantamount to a massacre, BNP on Thursday accused the government of misusing the huge fund raised for helping the victims’ family members.

“We know Rana Plaza owner is an Awami League leader. We also know the workers had forcefully been taken into the building to join works despite repeated warnings as it developed cracks. So, it’s tantamount to deliberate annihilation,” said BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.

He further said, “The huge amount of money raised for helping the family members of those killed and ensuring better treatment of those injured is being misused.”

The BNP spokesman was addressing a discussion and a prayer session arranged on the ground floor of BNP’s Nayapaltan central office in memory of those killed in the Rana Plaza collapse.
