Army, Police jointly attacked us: Rashed

A clash broke out between activists of his party and Jatiya Party in front of his party office last night.

As tensions escalated, police and army personnel charged batons to bring the situation under control, leaving Nur injured.

Rashed Khan said, “Even during the Awami League's rule, we were not attacked like this. The government must answer why Nurul Haque Nur is now at the ICU.”

“We are giving the government a 24-hour ultimatum. If there is no response within the time and any untoward incident occurs later the government will be held responsible,” he said.
