Chattogram Bureau :
At least 10 people have been injured after two groups of the BNP’s women affiliate fought each other with sticks in Chattogram. Fatema Badsha, Acting President of the Jatiyatabadi Mohila Dal’s Port City Unit, blamed the expelled chief Monwara Begum Moni and her supporters for the incident on SS Khaled Road on Tuesday.
Moni denied her involvement in the clash saying Fatema blamed her because Moni was getting the post back.
Witnesses said the clashes erupted when a group of Mohila Dal leaders and activists waiting outside Samador Community Centre came under attack launched by another group. Fatema told that Moni, Assistant Organising Secretary ‘Taslima’, and their supporters carried out the attack when the leaders and activists were waiting for Fatema and General Secretary Jelly Chowdhury for a meeting over the formation of a ward committee.
Fatema’s followers alleged Moni led her supporters from Jamalkhan and Lalkhan Bazar to the attack, starting with beating up Golzar Begum, a leader of the unit. They also said Moni wore a mask to hide her identity but it fell during a scuffle. Fatema said she would talk to the senior leaders of the party to decide on the matter.
Mohila Dal expelled Moni, a city corporation councillor elected from a ward reserved for women three times in a row, after she urged the citizens to vote Mayor AJM Nasir Uddin, an Awami League leader, in all the elections in the future.
