Leaders of the Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD), President A.S.M. Abdur Rob and General Secretary Shahid Uddin Mahmud Swapan, have strongly condemned the attack by Awami League supporters on the NCP's event in Gopalganj.

In a joint statement, the JSD leaders said that Bangladesh was on a path toward reform and fair elections, but the ruling party has once again revealed its authoritarian nature. "Despite being removed from power, the Awami League continues to resort to violence, putting the lives of political activists at risk," the statement read.

The JSD called for all anti-authoritarian forces to unite in resistance and demanded exemplary punishment for those responsible for the attack.
