In a post on his Facebook at midnight on Thursday (November 12), he made these remarks reacting to the bomb attack and arson at the home of Nusrat Tabassum, a member of the reserved women's seats in the National Parliament and an NCP leader.
In the post, Nahid Islam said, the fascist Awami League is not a domestic force. With shelter, patronage, and instigation from Delhi, anti-July forces are tearing Bangladesh apart. He also remarked that they are carrying out sabotage inside the country and taking shelter on the other side across the border. At the end of the post, he said, ‘I no longer hope that the government and administration will be able to provide any security to the people.’
He further said, ‘We ourselves must choose our path. InshaAllah, we will confront the anti-Bangladesh forces. We will do it unitedly, we will do it democratically.’
It may be noted that late on Wednesday night, a petrol bomb attack and arson occurred at the home of NCP leader Nusrat Tabassum. Nusrat herself disclosed this information in a Facebook status at night. In the status, she wrote, ‘A petrol bomb has been thrown at the house. I do not know who threw it. If you think voices can be silenced this way, then you are wrong. I will continue my work by crossing the path of fire.’
