Bangladesh Nizam-e-Islam Party Secretary General Maulana Musa Bin Izhar condemned alleged police attacks, baton charges and gunfire involving madrasa students in Brahmanbaria. In a statement sent to the media on Wednesday, he said the clash began after students protested loud music, and described reports of students being injured as deeply regrettable and concerning.

He said complaints raised by students should be addressed through dialogue and responsible conduct rather than the alleged use of state force. Musa said law-enforcement agencies are responsible for protecting people’s lives, property and security, and that any allegations of excessive force must be subject to accountability. No individual or institution exercising state power is above the law, he added.

The party leader called for a transparent and impartial inquiry to establish how the confrontation began, what force was used against students and whether law-enforcement measures were lawful. He demanded treatment for injured students and legal action if wrongdoing is proven. He also urged the administration to act with greater restraint, responsibility and humanity to protect students’ safety and civic rights.
