A sleeping mother and her three-year-old son were killed by arson attack on train in Tejgaon by terrorist activist of BNP-Jamaat

What a shocking revelation by the BNP- Jamaat restoring to terror and taking life of a sleeping mother and her three-year-old son who were killed in a train by arson attack by the terrorist activist of the BNP -Jamaat.

On 19th December 2023, while passengers were sleeping in train, BNP’s terrorist activists set fire to three compartments of the Mohanganj Express train on Tuesday morning. The fire incident happened just one hour before the beginning of the opposition party BNP’s day-long hartal. The fire service recovered the four bodies from one of the compartments after they put out the blaze.

A mother holding on to the child in death bed is definitely not the price they should have paid to be a citizen of this country and many losing their dear one’s cannot be a reason on political tactics. Taking one such dreadful example of Nadira Akter Poppy, 35, and her three-year-old son Md Yasin, who had grabbed her three-year-old son, held him to her chest, and ran in an attempt to get out of the train carriage and escape the fire. Unfortunately trapped in the billowing smoke, the mother and son could not make it out. They burned to death in the blaze. When rescuers recovered four dead bodies from the train, Nadira's son Yasin was still nestled into her chest. Mizanur Rahman, father of the 3 years old deceased Yasin was telling about his unfortunate fate.

He said “I can't explain what's going on inside me. Nadira’s whole world was completely occupied by her two sons. She had a dream to make her elder son a doctor. Everything is ruined now. Just on Monday night, he went to bed excited to see his sons and wife again after nearly two weeks. How will Fahim survive without his mother?" he asked, confused about what their future would be like now. Fahim is Mizanur’s eldest son was taken to a relative's house while Mizanur stayed at the morgue. Till at least 4:00 pm, Fahim kept asking for his mother and brother. We had to tell him they were ill and being treated at the hospital … I didn't want him to see them dead just yet”.

The injured from this incident were rushed back to the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMHC) on that day itself. Innocent lives are being lost here a mother and son out of the four people were dead on the spot. More than 50 thousand people were injured while trying to flee the train. One of them, 53-year-old Nurul Haque aka Abdul Kader, received a blow to the head and has been admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

The fatal fire in a train in Bangladesh capital Dhaka earlier on the day was an act of sabotage and that the main opposition BNP was responsible for this. There are many terrible and shameful examples like this where BNP as a political party should be ashamed off. All these hartals had been enforced by BNP naming it to be part of politics. They have been on the edge of creating hindrance in the upcoming election for stopping people to cast their votes. It is high time they come out of this shield and understand by doing all this they are not proving any point rather making it very clear and vocal to the common people what BNP-Jamaat is actually all about. Incidents of setting fire to trains and vehicles have been occurring frequently by BNP-Jamaat in the country since last month amid political tumult. It is now high time that the international organization take up a stand against BNP-Jamaat’s terrorist activist for what is being said and done which is ultimately affecting the common people and at the same time making it questionable.
