DHAKA, Aug 30, 2025 (BSS) - Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam has condemned the attack on Gono Odhikar Parishad President Nurul Haque Nur.

"I strongly condemn the heinous attack on Nurul Haque Nur, the leader of Gono Odhikar Parishad and a courageous voice of our time," he wrote in a Facebook post last night.

"As a student leader, Nur played a historic role in spearheading the anti-quota reform movement in 2018, inspiring a generation to rise against injustice and demand fairness," Shafiqul added.

More recently, Nur and his organisation stood with the people during the July uprising, embodying the struggle for democracy, accountability, and dignity, the press secretary said.

"His (Nur's) arrest and subsequent brutal torture in custody during the July uprising were not only grave violations of fundamental human rights but also a direct assault on the democratic aspirations of the people by the fascist Hasina regime," he noted.

"I am sure the attack will be investigated by the authorities," Shafiqul Alam wrote.
