Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer and Leader of the Opposition Dr Shafiqur Rahman has demanded the immediate arrest and punishment of those responsible for the petrol bomb attack and arson at the residence of Jatiya Nagorik Party (NCP) Joint Convener and reserved-seat lawmaker Nusrat Tabassum, warning that the government will pay a heavy price if it fails to bring the culprits to justice.

In a post on his verified Facebook page on Thursday (November 12), Dr Shafiqur Rahman condemned the incident as a cowardly act. He stated that the perpetrators must be tracked down and given exemplary punishment under the law.

"If the government fails to fulfil this responsibility, it will have to pay a heavy price," the Jamaat chief wrote, adding that there is no scope to remain silent over such an attack.

Earlier on Wednesday (November 11) night, Nusrat Tabassum confirmed the arson attack in a Facebook post. She wrote that petrol bombs had been hurled at her home, though she did not know who was behind it. "If you think my voice can be silenced this way, you are mistaken. I will continue my work walking through fire. Inquilab Zindabad," she stated.

The Kushtia district unit of the NCP strongly condemned and protested the attack. District NCP President Jannatul Ferdous Tony alleged that activists of the banned Awami League carried out the arson, urging all party leaders and activists to remain united in facing the situation.

Kushtia Additional Superintendent of Police (Bheramara Circle) Delwar Hossain told the media that fire service personnel rushed to the scene immediately upon receiving the news and brought the blaze under control around 1:50 AM. However, five out of eight rooms of the single-storey tin-shed house and two goats were burned in the fire before it could be extinguished.
