Protests

In August 2014, Bangladesh Islami Chattra Sena chief Muhammad Nurul Haq Chisty made the announcement at a press meet that half-day strike across Bangladesh would be observed to demand the arrest and trial of the killers of party leader Nurul Islam Farooqi.[1][2]

Days later, Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Sena formed a human chain on the Dhaka-Sylhet Highway's Ashuganj Goalchattor area demanding exemplary punishment for the killers.
