Tarique Rahman condemns attack on Nurul Haque

Bangla Press Desk: BNP’s Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has condemned the attack on Nurul Haque Nur, president of the Gono Odhikar Parishad, and the incident of violence that took place in Kakrail. He wished Nur a speedy recovery and urged the government to conduct a proper legal investigation into the matter. Tarique Rahman expressed these views in a post on his verified Facebook page late Friday night (August 29). Tarique Rahman said, “The BNP greatly condemns the attack on Nurul Haque Nur and the violent incidents that unfolded in Kakrail. We are in an extremely delicate period of democratic transition, for which the first step is national elections. Collectively, we must ensure that destabilising incidents, such as what happened today, do not spread over and push us off this path towards democracy.”

BNP’s Acting Chairman said, “Pro-democracy stakeholders, which include the BNP and its allies, must exercise restraint and tolerance. The true spirit of last year’s mass uprising must prevail. The country must break from its shackles of mob rule and current instability.” He also said, “If we are to take Bangladesh forward, we should maintain vigilance against mob culture, uphold the rule of law, and build a peaceful and stable country. Only through empowering the people in a democratic pathway and ensuring justice, equality and dignity for all, can we succeed as a united nation.” “I wish Nur a swift recovery and urge the government for a lawful investigation into the incident,” he added.This article was originally published on Daily Sun.
