Dhaka South Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer and MP Md. Nurul Islam Bulbul strongly condemned a violent attack on businessmen preparing for an anti-extortion rally in Gulistan’s Fulbaria area on Saturday evening. Speaking at Dhaka Medical College Hospital after visiting the injured, including severely stabbed businessman Kabir, he demanded that police identify and arrest the attackers using video footage. Bulbul warned that if no action is taken, the business community might take to the streets against the police.

He alleged that the assault, led by individuals named Dalim, Tito, Faruk, Swapan, and Ronju, left several people critically injured, including Enamul, Omar Faruk, Sultan Uddin, and Parvez. Bulbul criticized the police for failing to act after the attack, calling their silence suspicious and accusing them of siding with extortionists instead of protecting citizens.

He urged the government to adopt a “zero tolerance” policy against terrorism and extortion to restore law and order, emphasizing that students and the public are united against such crimes.
