Dhaka, Dec 17 (NationPress) Amidst the worsening law and order scenario in Bangladesh under the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus, yet another Awami League member fell victim to a violent mob attack on Wednesday. This incident allegedly involved members of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and the radical Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami.

As reported by the Awami League's media cell, the deceased, Riyad Hossain, was fatally stabbed by what they termed BNP–Jamaat 'mob terrorists' due to his allegiance to the party's affiliated organization, Swechchhasebak League.

The party accused BNP–Jamaat militants of arriving on motorcycles and initiating a premeditated attack on Riyad without any provocation.

The Awami League asserted that this heinous act was aimed at instilling fear among its supporters and showcasing the 'terrorist' agenda of the opposition. The party stated, 'The sole aim was to instill terror among Awami League members and exhibit their dominance through violence. When BNP–Jamaat groups emerge, their goal is clear: to obstruct the progressive movement in Bangladesh, intimidate citizens, and shed innocent blood.'

Furthermore, they pointed out that the attack on Riyad transcends a personal vendetta; it symbolizes a broader message from the BNP–Jamaat terrorist network that they are unafraid to target innocent civilians. 'They wield mob terrorism as their weapon, not democracy,' they concluded.

Last month, the Awami League accused the Yunus administration of conspiring to drive the populace toward an uncertain future, indicating that a new form of 'mob terrorism' has arisen as an organized tactic of intimidation.

Criticizing the Yunus government, the party claimed that since the 'illegal usurpers' took control, there has been a significant rise in criminal activities, including murder, theft, and robbery throughout the nation.

It was asserted that the Yunus-led interim government has resorted to 'terrorism' as a strategy to maintain its grip on power, leaving citizens without even minimal protection for their lives or properties.

'When the state itself supports terrorism and acts with fear against its own people, the foundations of law and order that define a civilized society begin to erode. It is evident that for a regime lacking public support, terror becomes a survival tactic, a reality reflected across society and governance,' stated the Awami League in an official communique.
