The Jamaat chief stressed the importance of vigilance to prevent anyone from exploiting such tragic incidents.
He noted that terrorists and criminals often become more reckless when foul play goes unchecked — a situation that benefits no one.
Earlier in the evening, the BNP's Chattogram-8 constituency candidate Ershad Ullah was injured and a party supporter killed in a gun attack during a campaign event in Chattogram.
The incident occurred while Ershad Ullah was campaigning in the city's Chalitatali area in Bayezid around 5:30pm ahead of the upcoming elections.
