10 buses set on fire in city; Secretary General condemns; demands punishment of the offenders

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s Secretary General and former lawmaker Professor Mia Golam Porwar has issued the following statement on 13 November 2020 condemning Thursday’s incident as at least nine buses and a minibus were torched in different parts of Dhaka within a span of a few hours this afternoon.

At least nine buses and a minibus were torched in different parts of Dhaka within a span of a few hours on 12 November, Thursday afternoon which caused huge amount of financial loss. The incidents of arson attack on buses in broad daylight once again proved that people’s lives and properties are not secured at all. Government’s failures are being displayed in all sectors. Without any reason, these sudden incidents of torching buses may be a part of a blueprint design. We are urging the fellow citizens to play pro-active role against all types of destructive and anti-national activities.

I am calling upon the concerned authorities to conduct fair and impartial probe into the incidents and to take stern punitive measures against the involved miscreants.
