Speaking to journalists in Mithapukur upazila of Rangpur district, Rizvi claimed the fire was part of a broader conspiracy to cover up critical documents related to large-scale corruption and financial mismanagement during AL's tenure. "The fire that engulfed the Secretariat is not an isolated incident," he said, adding that it was a well-planned act to erase traces of massive corruption, including files linked to a key principal secretary accused of siphoning off significant sums of money. Rizvi alleged that the fire destroyed vital documents of five ministries, including evidence of corruption involving billions of takas, money laundering, and irregularities by high-ranking government officials. "Among the files that burned were those tied to allegations of financial crimes by a principal secretary," he alleged. "This is a part of a deeper conspiracy by the former Sheikh Hasina government to ensure that information about their misdeeds never comes to light," he said. Rizvi emphasised the importance of uncovering the truth behind the fire and holding those responsible accountable. He called on the interim government to ensure transparency and take necessary steps to investigate the incident. Rizvi also visited the home of Shoanur Zaman Nayan, the firefighter who died while combating the Secretariat blaze. Rizvi extended condolences to Nayan's grieving family and urged the government to support them.
