According to the spokesman, five of their workers were killed and more than 2,000 were injured in the demonstration.
Sair Al Kabir said that the police did not intervene during the violence of the workers of the ruling party during the protest, but when we reacted, the police took action.
Police say four people have been killed in at least three protests, but the violence has been blamed on the opposition.

Meenakshi Ganguly, the South Africa director of Human Rights Watch said, "These are threats made before the upcoming elections in December 2023."
It should be noted that last December, the United States imposed sanctions on the security forces of Bangladesh for hundreds of enforced disappearances and thousands of extrajudicial killings. However, the government denied this and said that the criminals were killed in the encounter with the police.
