Islami Andolan Bangladesh has strongly condemned the assault on its ally, Akhtar Hossain, in New York, expressing outrage at the lack of security. The party accused the Chief Adviser of endangering political leaders by neglecting proper arrangements during his UN trip.
Party spokesperson Ataur Rahman warned that such negligence raises fears about political leaders’ safety during the upcoming national elections. He alleged that the Chief Adviser used state resources to promote three political parties abroad, undermining a level playing field.
The party demanded that U.S. authorities act against the attackers and that an inquiry be launched to hold those responsible for the security lapse accountable.
