An attack and vandalism targeted the car of Professor Masum Mostafa, Member of Parliament for Netrokona-5 (Purbadhala) and assistant secretary of the district Jamaat-e-Islami. The incident occurred on Friday when he was returning from a madrasa foundation event. According to a statement issued that night, around a hundred assailants attacked his vehicle near Atkapara Giripath Filling Station while he stopped for evening prayers, surrounding the mosque and detaining those accompanying him for about an hour.

Jamaat Secretary General Mia Golam Porwar strongly condemned the assault in a statement to the media, describing it as a deliberate act against a democratically elected representative and a violation of the rule of law. He said the attack reflected attempts to destabilize the country’s political environment and showed that violent political culture persists.

Porwar demanded a thorough investigation and exemplary punishment for those responsible, urging the authorities to act responsibly to prevent similar incidents in the future.
