Allegations have surfaced that a petrol bomb was hurled at the ancestral home of Nusrat Tabassum Jyoti, Joint Convener of the National Citizen Party (NCP) and a Member of Parliament from a reserved women's seat, in Daulatpur, Kushtia.

Tabassum brought the incident to light herself, a claim echoed in a separate social media post by NCP Senior Joint Member Secretary Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain.

Nusrat Tabassum first reported the attack in a Facebook post on Thursday (November 12) night.

The incident took place in Bagoan village under the Dangmarka area of Daulatpur upazila. Local residents and a firefighting unit from Bheramara Fire Service rushed to the scene and managed to bring the blaze under control.

In her Facebook post, Tabassum wrote, "A petrol bomb was thrown at my house. I do not know who did it."

She added, "If you think you can silence my voice this way, you are mistaken. I will walk through the path of fire and continue my work. Inquilab Zindabad."

Meanwhile, a video was shared from the verified Facebook page of NCP Senior Joint Member Secretary Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain, alleging that "Awami terrorists" carried out the petrol bomb attack on the Daulatpur residence of NCP Joint Convener and Political Council member Nusrat Tabassum MP.

Multiple attempts to reach the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Daulatpur Police Station by phone went unanswered, and no immediate comment could be obtained from the police.

Sultan Maruf Talha, Member Secretary of the NCP's Kushtia district unit, condemned the incident, stating, "A petrol bomb attack on the village home of a frontline brave fighter of the July mass uprising and a sitting Member of Parliament is completely unacceptable."

He further noted that the alleged use of petrol bombs by the banned organization Awami League to instill panic and fear among the public is deeply alarming, raising serious questions about the country's law and order situation and citizen safety.

"If even an MP's residence is vulnerable to such an attack, where does the security of ordinary citizens stand?" Talha asked.

"We strongly condemn and protest this heinous incident. At the same time, we demand the immediate identification and prosecution of the attackers, along with effective measures to ensure the safety of lives and property in Kushtia and across the country. Ensuring citizen security is the duty of the state, not a favor," he added.
