He called on the international community to take note of this incident.

“Shouldn’t this be considered an anti-election activity involving violence? Is this kind of act not going to undermine the election?” — Arafat wrote, tagging, among others, multiple foreign missions in Bangladesh, ambassadors of EU countries, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and multiple human rights organisations.
