Egg assault was the outcome of mass uprising


Eggs were thrown at NCP member secretary Akhtar Hossain, one of the heroes of the 24th mass uprising and a companion of Chief Advisor Dr. Muhammad Yunus at the UN session in New York. Dr. Tasneem Zara was abused in obscene and unspeakable language. Who committed this heinous attack?

This incident involved some of the lowest class miscreants of the fallen fascist Awami League. At that time, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Jamaat Naib-e-Ameer Dr. Abdullah Mohammad Taher were also present. They shouted slogans calling the Jamaat leader a militant. They made Akhter and Zara the main targets after they could not reach Dr. Yunus.

There were enough leaders and activists to protect Mirza Fakhrul and Abdullah Mohammad Taher. 3/4 people tried to protect Akhter and Zara. They reached the hotel in a kind of helpless situation.

One thing has become clear in this incident, the main target of the fallen forces is the student leaders who led the mass uprising. If given the opportunity, they will be the first to be punished. As bitter as it may sound, it has been proven that if the achievements of the mass uprising are rated, Akhtar and Nahid will be number one.

Watching the video of the attack, it seems like they could have cracked an egg or two on Fakhrul-Taher's back if they wanted to. They didn't. The Awami hyenas have focused on the main prey.

Many people are saying, why couldn't Dr. Yunus provide security to Akhter-Zarad as state guests? They don't know that in those countries, special protocols or security arrangements cannot be made for anyone at will. There, the police do not consider it a crime unless someone is hurt. Protests and demonstrations are recognized democratic rights there. But throwing eggs or abusing people in obscene language - these are only the rights of the lower class of animals, the Awami League. No civilized or YouTube talkists in Bangladesh will see the language used to abuse a woman as an insult to women. Because, if Awami is not a woman, they are not women at all.

BNP and Jamaat, while paying attention to the security of their leaders, have shown indifference towards the student leaders of the mass uprising. They could have given 50 leaders and activists responsibility for them. However, even if they did, it was not impossible for a miscreant to throw an egg at some point. One cannot always be saved from stray dogs on the streets. This egg on Akhtar's back is a matter of pride. Not of shame.

However, in the next few days, we may see more Awami filth. There may be a mob. The scoundrels of Dhaka will not see it as a mob. If the reaction of New York starts against Awami in the whole country including Dhaka, if a new egg and kick therapy starts in the court, then I hope Sushila will not be shocked. When Akhtar-Zara are attacked by Awami, I will see it as an attack on the mass uprising, not on an individual or a party. Every person who benefits from the uprising should see it that way.

Later, Akhter Hossain himself stood in front of the hotel facing the Awami cadres and shouted slogans, Mujibabad Murdabad, Inqilab Zindabad, we want justice, we want justice, we want Sheikh Hasina's justice. We want justice for the genocide, etc. Of course, many people joined Akhter there. At least 20/30 people must have been there. So far, the New York police have arrested one Awami miscreant in this incident.
