Gono Odhikar Parishad President Nurul Haque Nur has been hospitalised after a clash between activists of his party and Jatiya Party in front of his party office on Friday night.
A video shared on Nur's official Facebook page shows him being carried on a stretcher, visibly injured and bleeding, as he is rushed to a hospital.
A series of clashes broke out in front of the Jatiya Party’s central office in the capital’s Kakrail area on Friday evening, as rival groups engaged in brick-throwing and chase-and-counter-chase.
According to Jatiya Party (JaPa) activists, members of the Gono Odhikar Parishad attacked them during a procession.
However, leaders from Gono Odhikar Parishad claimed that it was JaPa supporters who first threw bricks and provoked the violence.
Following the clashes, a large number of law enforcement personnel, including police and army, rushed to the scene to bring the situation under control.
One of the activists from Gono Odhikar Parishad demanded a ban on the Jatiya Party’s activities, accusing it of collaborating with the fascist Awami League to sustain its rule.
