We strongly condemn the planned attack on Elias, an American expatriate journalist

        Journalist Mohammad Elias Hossain                                                                                 Swapna Gulshan:  I strongly condemn and protest against the planned attack on the streets of New York  on Md. Elias  Hossain, a very talented, brave and Bangladeshi background patriotic journalist living in America. 
On Friday, August 6, at around 10 pm local time, a group of 25/30 people suddenly attacked Elias on the streets of New York. One of them made harsh remarks involving his mother. Elias was furious and did not find culprit  following then .
Elias also became a defendant in self-defense.  He was saved from danger with the help of the locals.
At the time, a premeditated eyewitness, an Indian broker, secretly made the video, but only part of Elias was recorded. Part of the attacker was not recorded.
However, Elias now claims to be completely healthy. He warned to find the conspirators behind the attack.
The matter has already been reported to New York police. An investigation is underway to identify the conspirators. During his stay in Bangladesh, Elias became very popular in Ekushey Television’ through this  investigative journalism ‘Ekusher Choker’. Journalist Elias  has been protesting against the aggression of the Hindu fundamentalist BJP government in India  against Bangladesh from abroad through his YouTube channel. That is why some Indian agents  at home and abroad specially some pro awami league  activists   have become his main  enemies. Some pro-Awami League people who have been blindly brokering India for the rest whole  lives without considering the interest Bangladesh have become enemies of  journalist Elias.  Journalist  Elias is also  critic of the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government in Bangladesh.
However, the attackers must keep in mind that the American administration is not a partisan administration like Bangladesh when any political party / government come to power,  the administration  work for it. I would like to warn these greedy brokers of India in Bangladesh who are against the interests of Bangladesh that you can not  to keep expatriate journalists  mouths shut thought conspiracy.
However, I urge the US government to conduct a thorough investigation into the attack on Journalist Elias.
Lately, it has been noticed that some Indian brokers in Bangladesh  are supporting Indian aggression and abusing those who are raising voices against it . Those pro Indian Bangladeshi people are calling them ‘. Chagu (goats)’. I want to tell them, if  any Muslim keep  a beard and a hat and prays five times in a day , does not mean he is fundamentalist Muslim  or supporter of Jamaat Shibir. Hey, this is the rule of Islam. If a person prays five times in a day , keep beard, wearing hat, he is following his religious precepts. Where is your problem if a Muslim lives according to the full rules of Islam? Many of  Indian agent call it paki ( pro Pakistani ). It’s completely rubbish the way you label  those Muslim . If people  talk about the interests of Bangladesh  and criticize the immoral, unsolicited grandeur of India, and if you think it is Paki or Chagu, then that label seems to be better than the Indian brokers in Bangladesh who completely against the interest of their own country .

Why don’t you criticise when  the terrorist  of BJP supported by Narendra Modi in India beat the Muslims and force  them  to follow Hinduism ? Remember, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina is also a Muslim. She prays  five times a day, including tahajjud prayers. She  also maintain her life style according to the religious precepts of Islam. So do you think  Sheikh Hasina  is also  like a   ‘Chagu’ (“goat”)  to you?

However, the country does not belong  only to Jamaat, BNP, Awami League, the country does not belong to Indian broker in Bangladesh . The country belongs to every Bangladeshi . Therefore, patriotic Bangladeshis will never allow the country to be sold by accepting the Indian aggression for the sake of any political parties own interest  or personal interests. At least that’s what the history of Bangladesh  says. Stay safe ,  Stay healthy through this COVID19 pandemic.
