Gono Odhikar Parishad will hold demonstrations across Bangladesh on Saturday protesting at the attack of its president and former Ducsu vice-president Nurul Haque Nur.
General secretary of GOP Rashed Khan came up with the announcement at a press briefing in front of Dhaka Medical College and Hospital on Friday night.
鈥楶rotest processions will be brought out simultaneously in all 64 districts at 12:00pm while a rally will be held in front of the party office in Dhaka at 3:00pm demanding justice for the attack,鈥� he said.
A clash broke out between activists of Gono Odhikar Parishad and Jatiya Party in front of his party office on Friday night.
As tensions escalated, police and army personnel charged batons to bring the situation under control, leaving Nur injured.
Rashed Khan said, 鈥楨ven during the Awami League鈥檚 rule, we were not attacked like this. The government must answer why Nurul Haque Nur is now at the ICU.鈥�
鈥榃e are giving the government a 24-hour ultimatum. If there is no response within the time and any untoward incident occurs later the government will be held responsible,鈥� he said.
