Gono Odhikar Parishad threatens to besiege Secretariat, Jamuna

Gono Odhikar Parishad has threatened to lay siege to the Secretariat and the CA's residence Jamuna if action is not taken within 48 hours against those responsible for the attack on its president Nurul Haque Nur, reports UNB.

The party's general secretary Md Rashed Khan issued the warning at a press conference at Dhaka Medical College Hospital on Sunday afternoon.

He also demanded the resignation of the home adviser, accusing him of failure to ensure justice.

"Nur's health condition deteriorated yesterday (Saturday) and doctors advised him to remain in hospital for some more days. Although the government had announced that he would be sent abroad for advanced treatment, no visible steps have been taken in 17 days. The government's delay and false assurances are unacceptable," Rashed Khan said.

He said a probe committee was formed but it has yet to contact the party.

He urged the government to sit with them, review the video footage and identify those involved in the attack.
