Acting Secretary General of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Maulana ATM Masum has issued the following statement on 26th May 2022 protesting and condemning the attack of the Chhatra League cadres upon the Chhatra Dal leaders and activists in the Supreme Court Premise today.
As a part of the pre-declared program, since the morning of 26th May, Chhtra Dal (JCD) leaders and activists gathered and initiated a procession from High Court’s Mother Gate at 12 at noon. The procession was moving forward towards Doel Chattar. At that time, without any instigation, Chhatra League goons chased the JCD activists. Chhatra Dal activists took shelter in the adjacent Supreme Court compound. Chhatra League goons attacked them in those places as well. Several Chhatra Dal leaders and activists became critically injured in this attack. Police arrested two men from the spot.
By launching an attack in the Supreme Court Premise, Chhatra League has ruined the sanctity of the highest judicial structure. Paying no heed to its image, Chhatra League goons also attacked the lawyers and left several lawyers injured as well. They also vandalized some vehicles of the lawyers.
Even the Supreme Court is not safe from the attack of the Chhatra League cadres. Police failed to give protection and security to these places. We are condemning this brutal attack. I am also urging the concerned authorities to arrest all the miscreants who were involved with these incidents and also to make Supreme Court and its premises free from terrorism.
