Gana Odhikar Parishad leader Rashed Khan has accused adviser Mahfuz Alam of orchestrating the division within the national unity forged during the recent mass uprising. “We condemned the bottle attack on Mahfuz Alam. But have you heard the leaked audio? It reflects his mindset. Under his directive, attacks were carried out on Jagannath University (JnU) teachers and female students,” Rashed said.

He further criticized the selective outrage: “You’re only focused on the bottle incident, while ignoring the violence against students and teachers. If you have integrity, condemn both.” Rashed concluded, “This proves that the assaults were carried out under the instructions of such advisers.”

It is worth noting that Mahfuz Alam has issued an apology for the comments in his leaked audio.
