DHAKA: Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer and Leader of the Opposition in Parliament Dr Shafiqur Rahman has condemned an attack and arson at the village home of Nusrat Tabassum, a joint convener of the National Citizen Party (NCP) and a reserved-seat lawmaker.
He made the statement in a post on his verified Facebook page on Thursday.
In the post, Shafiqur said he condemned the alleged petrol bomb attack and arson at Nusrat Tabassum Jyoti’s home in Bagowan village of Daulatpur upazila in Kushtia district, shortly after midnight on Wednesday.
“The attack is cowardly. Those responsible must be identified, brought to justice and given strict punishment,” he wrote.
The opposition leader added that the government would have to pay a heavy price if it failed to fulfil this responsibility, saying there was no scope for remaining silent.
However, although allegations surfaced that a petrol bomb had been thrown at the NCP leader’s village home, Daulatpur Police Station said no bomb had been thrown there. Police also reported that a goat was burned to death in the fire.
