"Yet, she could not be swayed from her path", he added.
Even, when Khaleda Zia was imprisoned, Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman, from far-off London, has been able to unite and prepare the countrymen winning people’s hearts by his leadership, he continued.
"The outcome of these efforts was July-August uprising," Rizvi said.
He also expressed his resolve to establish democracy by bringing all parties together.
