Islamic scholar and political leader Mamunul Haque has strongly condemned the attack on Nurul Haque Nur and his associates, calling it a premeditated assassination attempt.

Speaking to reporters after visiting Nur in hospital, Mamunul said:

“The attack on Nurul Haque Nur and his colleagues was nothing short of a planned attempt at murder. In front of the national media and journalists, army personnel assaulted one of the country’s most prominent political leaders. This is unthinkable and has disgraced the army—the last institution of trust for the people of Bangladesh.”

Mamunul warned that the assault highlighted a grave threat to political life:

“The way this attack was carried out proves that our lives are at stake politically. It shows the character of the police has not changed, and now even army personnel can launch such attacks openly before the media. This is unimaginable in any civilized world.”

He further accused defeated forces of seeking revenge against the “July Revolutionaries”:

“The barbaric attack on VP Nurul Haque Nur, Rashed Khan, and others—leaving them bloodied and hospitalized—is a test case. If they get away with this, no participant of the July Revolution will be safe. Today we must decide: will the July Revolution succeed, or will it fail?”

He urged all patriotic, political, and social forces—along with students and citizens nationwide—to remain vigilant and united.
