Nazmul voices concern over attack on Hasibul and arson at Nusrat's relatives' home, urges home minister to make administration effective

Nazmul Hasan, central president of Bangladesh Chhatra Adhikar Parishad, has expressed strong condemnation and concern over an attack intended to kill Hasibul Islam, a former central coordinator of the July mass uprising, and a late-night arson attack on the home of relatives of MP Nusrat Tabassum. In a statement on Thursday (12 November), he blamed the fallen fascist force for the incidents.

In the statement, Nazmul Hasan said the incidents prove again that there is no remorse among them. A tendency to spread fear and panic through violence, ignoring people's lives and safety, still exists, he said. Such acts can in no way be tolerated, the statement said.

In the statement, Nazmul Hasan called on the home minister to make the administration effective and accountable. Otherwise, he said, from the frontline fighters of the July mass uprising to the political and social forces connected with it, all will continuously face insecurity.

He demanded that strict enforcement of the law against Awami terrorists be ensured in the statement.

At the same time, he called for exemplary legal action, including dismissal from service, against officials in the police, other law enforcement agencies, intelligence agencies and the administration against whom there are specific allegations of Awami League influence, involvement in violence or helping criminals.

In the final part of the statement, Nazmul Hasan called on all student organisations, political forces and patriotic students and people of the July mass uprising to unite. Forgetting party divisions and differences of opinion, he called for building collective resistance against fascist violence, terrorism and hegemonic politics.

Nazmul Hasan is the central president of Bangladesh Chhatra Adhikar Parishad. He is a former central coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.
