BNP leader Rizvi Ahmed Saturday said the Election Commission became part of a "conspiracy" by inviting Hafizuddin Ahmed to the electoral reforms dialogue.

Rizvi, acting office secretary of the BNP installed by Khandaker Delwar Hossain of a faction of the troubled party, renewed a claim to the BNP "mainstream" and threatened to take legal action against the commission.

He took a dig at the Election Commission for not inviting the "mainstream" BNP to the dialogue slated for Nov 22.

"The commission ran into a controversy by issuing the invitation letter. They (Hafizuddin Ahmed and his supporters) don't represent the BNP," he said, adding that his faction was preparing documents for the legal fight.
