Arnob, a well-known singer, has strongly condemned the recent attack on Rahul Anand’s house. Rahul, a leader of the Joler Gaan band, was forced out of his Dhanmondi house. Along with his wife and children, he was thrown out with just a single piece of cloth. This happened after Rahul and his party members had participated in a demonstration at Rabindra Sarobar in support of the anti-discrimination student movement. During the demonstration, Rahul's house was ransacked.
Shayan Chowdhury Arnob, known for his music, expressed his outrage on social media. He shared his feelings about the attack, saying, “This is a huge loss.
I can't accept it. Absolutely wrong. I apologize. Rahul, we are with you.” Arnob also mentioned that the house was burned down, including a valuable collection of musical instruments. He criticized the incident, questioning which “crocodile” might be involved, using a metaphor to describe his disbelief and frustration.
During the attack, the miscreants allowed Rahul and his family to leave the house. Fortunately, Rahul and his family were physically unharmed, but they are deeply affected by the destruction of their home. The house was left in ruins, and Rahul is heartbroken over the loss.
The incident has sparked strong reactions and widespread condemnation from various quarters, highlighting the growing concern over such violent acts.
In response to the attack, numerous artists and activists have taken to social media to express their solidarity with Rahul and his family. Public figures are calling for a thorough investigation into the attack and demanding justice. The incident has also ignited a debate about the increasing polarization and intolerance in the country, prompting calls for greater respect for artistic freedom and protection of individuals involved in cultural and political activism. The community's response underscores the need for a safer environment where freedom of expression can be exercised without fear of violence.
