The father of a coordinator of the July Uprising in Eidgaon, Cox’s Bazar was shot dead by a group led by former UP chairman and upazila Awami League leader Abdur Razzak. The National Citizen Party (NCP) has strongly condemned the incident and demanded justice. The condemnation and justice were demanded in a press release sent by the party’s Joint Member Secretary (Office) Saleh Uddin Sifat on Saturday.

It said that Habibul Huda, father of July Uprising coordinator Saidul Huda, was shot dead by a group led by former UP chairman and upazila Awami League leader Abdur Razzak in Eidgaon, Cox’s Bazar on Friday. Three more members of Saidul Huda’s family were injured in the attack.

The NCP press release also said that Awami League leader Abdur Razzak was previously imprisoned in various cases. Meanwhile, even though almost 24 hours have passed since the incident, none of the accused have been brought to justice so far, which questions the activeness of the local law enforcement agencies. The National Citizens Party strongly demands that everyone involved in this murder and attack be brought to justice immediately and that the safety of the victim’s family be ensured.
