Despite the sabotage in the morning, we entered Gopalganj only after receiving security clearance, as instructed by the administration and security forces. We did not carry out a road march, held a street rally only. Our supporters from different upazilas of Goalganj were prevented from joining in and their buses were stopped at different points.
Still, we completed our street rally peacefully. While leaving, Awami League terrorists launched an armed attack on us. We exited Gopalganj following the instructions of the security forces.
We have heard of four deaths. We do not support or expect to see any extrajudicial killings. The terrorists must be dealt with in the judicial process. Had the administration and the intelligence agencies taken proper steps in time, such a situation could have been avoided.
The government and administration must take responsibility for this. We demand a thorough investigation of the entire incident and prosecution of the terrorists. The terrorists must be arrested based on specific information. The arrest operation has to be run across the country and not just in Gopalganj.
