The National Congress Party (NCP) staged an immediate protest in Dhaka following an attack on Abdul Hannan Masud in Hatiya. The demonstration began at midnight on Monday from Banglamotor, proceeded through Shahbagh’s Intercontinental Hotel intersection, and concluded back at Banglamotor. NCP leaders strongly condemned the attack, demanding the swift arrest and expulsion of those responsible. They declared that Hannan Masud was a leading figure of the historic July Revolution, and an attack on him was an attack on the revolution itself. “The nation will not tolerate such an assault,” they warned.
