Nahid accuses govt, advisers of silence over attacks on Mahfuj
Nahid wrote that repeated attacks by Awami League supporters show Mahfuj is being deliberately targeted, and warned that others will be targeted next.
National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam has accused the interim government and its advisory council of creating a "silent consensus" to facilitate the killing of Adviser Mahfuj Alam.
In a post on his verified Facebook account today (13 September), he said there had been an attempted assault on Mahfuj in London and earlier attempts in the United States.

The NCP chief alleged that the interim government has never taken any strong action or issued a firm condemnation over the incidents, and that neither advisers nor the press secretary has publicly responded.
"Within the government and the advisory council a silent consent has been created to humiliate and kill Mahfuj Alam. This government and its advisers are exploiting Mahfuj and others at will and now pushing them towards death," he wrote, adding that those responsible for this silent consent "will suffer".
He also warned of a political response in the future.
Nahid framed the attacks as part of a broader pattern. He accused some groups of using anti-fascism rhetoric as a cover to pursue reactionary and revenge politics that, he said, would ultimately revive fascism.
