The incident has been given prominence as Tabassum was in NCP the student-led movement that played a major role in the political changes that removed former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from power in August 2024.
Tabassum is joint convener of the NCP and represents a reserved women’s seat in Bangladesh’s parliament. The party has been an important political force ever since the 2024 uprising changed the country’s political map.
After the attack, NCP media cell alleged that Awami League people were behind the attack. Party representatives also said their leaders and families are not safe. These allegations have not been independently verified and police have not named those involved.
The attack has once again brought political security in Bangladesh into focus. Attacks on politicians, party leaders and their properties can fuel tensions at a time when the country is going through a change of politics.
Investigators will have to figure out what caused the fire and who started it for now but also whether political representatives and their families are protected as Bangladesh continues its post-Hasina political transition.
