"Last night, he extended financial aid of Tk5 lakh, which I am here to deliver," he added.
He further criticised the current political situation and remarked, "It's beyond understanding how fascist groups still roam freely in the country or how they claim to be engaging in politics."
Salahuddin also demanded those who were critically wounded be sent abroad for proper treatment.
"We urge the government to immediately identify those who are in critical condition and cannot be treated in the country, and to send them abroad as soon as possible. In particular, those who have lost their sight or have injuries that cannot be treated here should be sent overseas for proper care," said BNP Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed.
