We condemn the attack on Dr. Humayun Azad by some miscreants in front of Bangla Academy during the month-long Book Fair. This kind of barbarism is shameful for any citizen of this country.

The attack violated the fundamental rights of a writer given to him by his only judge-- the people of the country. We are shocked by this gruesome attack on a famous linguist and hope that the law enforcing agencies will bring the culprits to book. A crime of such kind must not go unpunished.
