Dhaka, July 17 -- The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami have strongly condemned a violent attack on the Nationalist Citizens' Party's (NCP) 'March to Gopalganj' rally, allegedly carried out by supporters of the now-banned Awami League.
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir described the assault - which reportedly involved crude bomb blasts, arson of police and administrative vehicles, and injuries to officers - as evidence of fascist forces trying to destabilise the country following the Awami League's fall. He warned that the worsening law and order situation could derail democratic progress and demanded the immediate arrest of the perpetrators.
