Awami League worker arrested for throwing eggs at Akhtar

Leaders and workers of the US branch of the banned organization Awami League in Bangladesh threw eggs at National Citizens Party (NCP) member secretary Akhtar Hossain at John F. Kennedy International Airport in the US. A worker of the party has been arrested in this incident.
Last Monday (September 22) at 9:28 pm local time, New York police arrested him in front of the Nabanna restaurant in Jackson Heights.
It is learned that the name of the detained Awami League worker is Mizanur Rahman. His home is in Sylhet.
Meanwhile, today, Tuesday (September 23) at 5:23 am Bangladesh time, the party’s joint convener Dr. Tasnim Zara posted a post on her Facebook page regarding the attack on NCP member secretary Akhtar Hossain in the US. She said, ‘This is not an attack on Akhtar Hossain as a person, but because of his political identity.’ Because he represents the party that is constantly working to break the structure of fascism.’
Also, in response to the attack, Akhtar Hossain said, ‘We are the generation that was not afraid to stand in front of Hasina’s bullet. Therefore, no one’s broken egg bothers us.’
Earlier, an Emirates flight carrying the chief advisor and his entourage landed at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport at noon local time. When they left the airport with some delay, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, BNP Acting Chairman’s Foreign Affairs Advisor Humayun Kabir; NCP Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain and NCP Senior Joint Member Secretary Dr. Tasneem Zara were surrounded by Awami League workers shouting slogans.
The chief advisor’s press wing and some BNP workers tried to evict them along with security guards. At that time, some Awami League and Jubo League workers threw eggs at Akhtar Hossain. They also abused Tasnim Zara in obscene language. In protest, Akhtar raised slogans of “Inquilab Zindabad”. Later, with the help of police, they left the airport area in a car.
