The release mentioned that the BNP and its affiliates are one of the participants in the mass uprising.
"However, the attack by the Jubo Dal leader and his companions on the injured fighter of the mass uprising during the post-uprising state formation period is regrettable. The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement calls on the BNP and its affiliated organisations to move away from the politics of terror and adopt a peaceful stance," reads the press release.
The student organisation alleged that although a case has been filed by the victim, the culprits of the attack have not yet been arrested. "The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement strongly demands that the culprits be arrested and punished as soon as possible," it added.
