Chief Coordinator of Ganosamhati Andolon Zonayed Saki and Executive Coordinator Abul Hasan Rubel have strongly condemned and protested against the attack attempts on Information and Broadcasting Adviser Mahfuz Alam in London.
In a statement issued by the party on Saturday, they said, "Repeated attacks on Mahfuz Alam, one of the leaders of the July mass uprising, are a matter of grave concern. Since the beginning of the post-uprising period, we have repeatedly called for maintaining national unity and not provoking division.
"If we had remained united on questions of national interest, we could have avoided such situations."
They also called upon the Bangladesh High Commission in London to take action against those involved in this incident immediately, the statement added.
On Friday, a video of a protest surrounding an event attended by Mahfuz Alam in the United Kingdom circulated on social media.
The video shows Awami League leaders and activists, who are banned from political activities, protesting and throwing eggs at two vehicles at the scene. However, Adviser Mahfuz Alam was not in any of those vehicles.
The incident took place at the Khalili Lecture Theatre of SOAS University of London (School of Oriental and African Studies). Mahfuz Alam went there to attend an event titled "July Uprising Conversation".
