Attorney General Md Asaduzzaman has described the recent assault on Gono Odhikar Parishad President Nurul Haque (Nur) as part of a deep-rooted conspiracy and plot.

He made the remarks on Saturday afternoon while responding to a question following the inauguration of the Regional Office of the National University at the Television Centre area in Jhenidah town.

Terming the attack on the Gono Odhikar Parishad leader as heinous, Asaduzzaman stated that the Jatiya Party (JaPa) had betrayed the blood of the people during the period from 1982 to 1990.
