Death of Presidium Member

On 27 August 2014, Allama Nurul Islam Farooqi was murdered following a home invasion who was a presidium member of Islami Front.[5] In August, 2014, Islami Chhatra Sena chief Muhammad Nurul Haq Chisty announced at a press meeting that a half-day strike across Bangladesh would be observed, and demanded for the arrest and trial of Farooqi's killer.[6][7] The student party formed a human chain on the Dhaka-Sylhet Highway's Ashuganj Goalchattor area on 25 August 2015, demanding an exceptional punishment for Farooqi's killer.[8]
