DHAKA, May 4, 2025 (BSS) – Leaders and activists of National Citizen Party (NCP) and Anti-Discrimination Student Movement staged demonstrations across the country,  including the capital Dhaka, protesting last night's attack on Hasnat Abdullah, NCP’s Chief Organizer (Southern region).

NCP staged a protest rally on Sunday night in response to an attack around 10:00 pm from Banglamotor in the capital and proceeded towards the TSC area. A significant number of NCP leaders and activists participated in the march demanding justice for the attack on their leader.

During the protest, demonstrators chanted slogans including: “Hasnat, Hasnat,” “My brother is in the grave, why is the killer free?” “Ban the Awami League,” “Hasnat’s blood won’t go in vain,” “July’s blood won’t go in vain,” and “Action against the AL terrorists.”

NCP leaders at the scene called for the attackers to be brought to justice within 24 hours, urging the authorities to take immediate legal action.

Party leaders participating in the rally condemned the attack, calling it "unacceptable and deeply concerning".  They also  demanded swift identification and prosecution of the attackers.

Simultaneously, similar protest marches were reported in districts including Gazipur, Noakhali, Cumilla, and Habiganj.

Earlier in evening, unidentified attackers reportedly targeted Hasnat Abdullah’s car in Gazipur. Details of the incident and any potential injuries are yet to be officially confirmed.
