In retaliation for the egg attack on Akhtar Hossain in New York, local NCP activists in Bangladesh targeted the house of US Awami League leader Zahid Hasan. Protesters threw eggs at the main gate and walls of his family home in Telipara, Shariatpur, on Tuesday evening.
The demonstration was led by district NCP coordinator Advocate Ruhul Amin, who marched with supporters and students before throwing eggs at the residence.
However, NCP Joint Coordinator Sabuj Talukder later distanced the party from the act, saying: “We protest through slogans and rallies, not by attacking homes. The incident was not organized by the district NCP.”
