In a Facebook post on Sunday, JRA stated: “Honorable Adviser for Home Affairs and Honorable DMP Commissioner, the July Revolutionary Alliance, Private University National Association of Bangladesh (PUNAB), July Unity, and other July organizations are giving only 26 more hours to arrest Afridi. Afridi is in Bangladesh. No drama will be tolerated – he must be arrested.”
