First Deputy Chairman of the People’s Rights Council, Farouk Hassan, expressed his anger, claiming that he did not receive justice after being attacked in the Shaheed Manar area in the center of the capital. “The drama we witnessed in this incident, the silence of law enforcement and the smell of their multi-faceted conspiracies, we have witnessed over the past few days,” he said. We are forced to say that the culture of the Awami League, the current Dr. Where is the difference between the culture of the government of Muhammad Yunus?
He spoke at a press conference at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Hospital headquarters on Friday (January 10). Secretary-General of the People’s Rights Council. Leaders and activists from different levels of the party including Rashid Khan were present.
By the way, the First Vice President of the People’s Rights Council, Farouk Hassan, was attacked last Saturday afternoon (January 4) in the center of Shahid Manar during the civil gathering organized by the National Revolutionary Council. A group of attendees at the meeting attacked him because of his speech in which he criticized the interim government. Later, he was transferred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DAMIC). Later, he was transferred from there to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Hospital. He is undergoing treatment there.
Referring to that day, Farouk Hassan said in the press conference that after the sudden attack on me in Shahid Manar on January 4, after this attack, photos and videos of the attackers were circulated on social media and the media. Law enforcement agencies have the legal responsibility to identify and arrest assailants. We feel deep sadness and shame.
He said: “During Sheikh Hasina’s regime, leaders and activists of the People’s Rights Council were attacked 21 times, and we did not get justice for even a single attack during Sheikh Hasina’s rule.” But in independent post-revolution Bangladesh, we don’t even worry about being attacked again. However, I have been attacked, and this attack will be judged very quickly; “This is what we expected.”
He said: 2,000 students sacrificed their lives in the recent unrest, not because you are going to break Farooq Hassan’s legs. To kill it, cut its forehead with a knife and make a 2-inch wound. This is not why millions of students are groaning in hospital beds. Under our pressure, two of the attackers were arrested. Today we condemn how this attacker obtained bail in just 6 hours.
Highlighting the Awami League period, he said that people were released on bail from the court after being arrested. We witnessed the same events during Hasina’s tenure. Chhatra terrorists used to attack us. Then they came to the press conference and said they hurt themselves from being pushed. Even then, if one or two people were arrested for showing off, they would enter on one side and exit on the other with garlands around their necks. Likewise, my attackers walked out of court with wreaths of flowers around their necks. After their arrival, they are bathed with milk. I do not think there is a more disgusting and shameful incident in post-revolution Bangladesh. I don’t know Dr. Muhammad Younis, sir, we are ashamed, we are ashamed.
“We are the elite of the world, the only Nobel laureate in Bangladesh,” Farooq Hassan lamented. We have placed Muhammad Yunus Sidi in the main chair. We hope he will deliver justice. Through it, the judiciary will be independent, and the people of Bangladesh will get justice. But even after he sat in the chair, the kind of events we see make us compelled to say D. Muhammad Yunus, sir, you are not fit for Bangladesh.
Farouk Hassan called on the attackers of Martyr Minar on that day not to say that they were students or wounded in the anti-discrimination movement, “These attackers are nothing but terrorists.” These terrorists were granted state bail. How else can they get bail within 6 hours?
Farouk Hassan also warned that the People’s Rights Council would do everything in its power if the attackers were not arrested and brought to justice.
