The National Citizen Party, or NCP, held a torchlight march in Dhaka on Thursday night to protest attacks it said targeted party activities in Habiganj, Sylhet and other places. The march was also held after an attack on Alif Chowdhury, a leader of Jatiya Chhatra Shakti, reportedly injured his eye. The procession began at Banglamotor and ended at the Shahbagh intersection.

Central NCP leaders led the march alongside leaders from the party's Dhaka north and south metropolitan units and various affiliated organizations. A large number of activists from the Dhaka north and south units took part. Marchers chanted a slogan demanding that Alif Chowdhury's eye be restored.

NCP leaders blamed BNP leaders and activists, as well as those from its affiliated organizations, for the attacks. The report said the protest addressed the alleged assaults on party programmes in Sylhet and other locations in addition to the incident involving Chowdhury in Habiganj. No further details about the alleged attacks or any response from those accused were included in the source.
