Some leaders and activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) allegedly attacked members of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) on Dhaka University campus on Tuesday.
Chhatra Dal DU convener Rakibul Islam alleged that at least 20 activists of the organisation were injured in the attack. Six of them were admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
“We came under the sudden attack by some BCL men while we were taking preparations to distribute food and educational materials in TSC area around 11:30am, as part of our leader Ziaur Rahman’s death anniversary programme,” Rakibul said.
Moreover, Amzad Hossain, DU correspondent of an online news portal named ‘Dhaka Post’, was also beaten by the BCL men when he was present during the incident, reports our DU correspondent.
“Suddenly, Amir Hamza, joint general secretary of Zahurul Haque Hall unit of Chhatra League, started beating me up while I stood near the spot to cover the incident,” said Amzad.
Denying the allegations, DU BCL General Secretary Saddam Hossain said, “We know nothing about the attack. The incident might have occurred due to internal conflict over the Chhatra Dal committee. None from Chhatra League is involved in the incident.”
