Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed has assured a proper investigation into the reported attack at Chattogram City College. Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday, he said any such incident would be thoroughly investigated and urged lawmakers not to blame any political party without inquiry. The minister made the remarks in response to Jamaat-e-Islami MP Shahjahan Chowdhury, who raised the issue during the discussion on the motion of thanks to the President’s address.
Shahjahan Chowdhury claimed that the attack took place near Chattogram’s New Market area, alleging that some individuals involved in previous anti-discrimination protests were behind the assault on general students. He also mentioned that one person’s leg was severed in the incident and called for government action. The Deputy Speaker advised him to submit a formal notice for the minister’s response.
Salahuddin Ahmed said intelligence agencies had reported clashes between student groups and that he would need time to verify the facts. He indicated he might later issue a statement under Rule 300 after the investigation concludes, emphasizing the need to avoid mutual blame before facts are established.
