On October 4, North South University student Apurba Pal was accused of insulting the Quran Sharif. When the matter spread on social media, there was a strong reaction across the country. Later, the university authorities permanently expelled the accused student after an internal investigation.
At the rally, Raozan Upazila Hefazat International Affairs Secretary Mao Harun Rashid said, “We cannot accept any insult to religious sentiments. However, our goal is not violence, but to create awareness through peaceful means.”
Speakers at the rally also said that the heinous scene of North South University student Apurba Pal insulting the Quran has caused bleeding in the hearts of crores of devout Muslims in the country. The student himself committed an even greater crime by posting a video of the Quran desecration on his Facebook profile. This shows that he did this knowingly. We strongly condemn this incident and demand that the interim government ensure exemplary justice for him.
