The Government strongly condemns the attack on Wednesday (January 15), on the peaceful gathering of a group of ethnic minority students in front of NTCB building in Motijheel. 

The government has ordered an investigation into the attack, and two persons have already been arrested in this connection. 

Other perpetrators are being identified and will soon be arrested. All miscreants will be brought to justice. 

Imbibed in the true spirits of the July mass uprising, the government reiterates in unequivocal terms that there is no place for mob violence, racial hatred, and bigotry in Bangladesh.

The government warns that anyone involved in activities that harm harmony, peace, and law and order shall face stern actions without discrimination.
