Dhaka: Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami on Tuesday condemned the alleged attack and vandalism at the residence of Jashore-4 MP Md Golam Rasul, stating that such an incident over the behavior of his “mentally ill” daughter is unacceptable.

According to United News of Bangladesh, Jamaat Secretary General Mia Golam Porwar alleged that BNP leaders and activists were involved in instigating the alleged attack and called for those responsible to be identified and brought to justice immediately. He stated that a group of people carried out a “planned and intentional” attack and vandalism at the MP’s residence in the Nilganj area of Jashore town around 11:00 am on Tuesday.

Porwar, in the statement, claimed that one of Golam Rasul’s daughters is “mentally ill” and has been receiving treatment in various places, including India. The incident reportedly occurred over an act of the daughter, which had already been settled, and such an attack is “in no way acceptable.”

The Jamaat leader further claimed that despite the MP explaining the matter, there was a “special motive” behind inciting a mob. He cautioned that such an attack on the residence of a lawmaker could worsen the law and order in the country. Porwar demanded the immediate identification of those involved in the attack and the instigators, urging for them to be brought to justice.
