The ruling Awami League’s student front leader Siddiqui Nazmul Alam has threatened to 'beat up senior BNP leaders'.

A status on his Facebook profile posted on Wednesday reads that the response to the attack on MP Chhabi Biswas will come "within three days".

"Will beat up senior BNP leaders like stray dogs", reads the post by the general secretary of Bangladesh Chhatra League.

During a clash between BNP and government supporters on Wednesday, ruling party MP from Netrokona Chhabi Biswas was attacked in front of the DMCH.

The attackers set his car on fire and the lawmaker suffered injuries in the head. He is being treated at the DMCH.
