BNP Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi termed the brutal attack on Nurul Haque Nur, the president of the Gono Odhikar Parishad, a pre-planned attempt on his life.
Rizvi made the remarks on Sunday afternoon after visiting Nur, who is currently being treated in the Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Nur sustained two injuries and a haemorrhage when law enforcers and security force officials swooped on a protest by his party on Friday night.
Rizvi questioned how the vicious attack was allowed to take place. He also said he felt it was premeditated and that the intention was to kill him completely.
Rizvi also rejected suggestions that Nur or the Gono Odhikar Parishad instigated any violence.
Condemning the attack, Rizvi said, "He is a prominent political figure and has contributed to the anti-autocratic movement. The attack on him is deeply condemnable. This kind of incident has no place in a democratic society."
