A Correspondent :
Over the allegation of secretly allocating parking space of Chittagong District Bar Association’s newly-built building, a section of pro-Awami League lawyers yesterday assaulted the association’s general secretary at the latter’s chamber on the Chittagong court premises.
The incident took place just a day before the association’s election today.
 GS Zahed Biru said, “They physically assaulted me and hurled abusive words raising a false claim that the president and GS are allocating 26 parking spaces not through any lottery.”
Denying the claim, Mujibul said as per the rule of the association, its election is held in February; so the leaders cannot take any policy-making decision after December. But breaching the law, they were allocating the parking space, he said, adding, “We went to the association office to protest.” President Kafil Uddin said they did not allocate the space. On Thursday, they decided the space would be allocated by the new committee after the election, he said.
