An attack took place at the Iftar Mahfil of Jatiya Party Dhaka Metropolitan North. The party's Vice Chairman Helal Uddin, Organizing Secretary Abul Khair, and the party chairman's bodyguard Milan were among 20 people injured, confirmed party office secretary Mahmud Alam.
He told Barta24.com that the attack took place in the presence of party Chairman GM Quader and Secretary General Mujibul Haque Chunnu during the "The Buffet Palace" program in Ibrahimpur on Wednesday (March 19). Later, the army came and brought the situation under control.
Mahmud Alam said that a few minutes before the Iftar, the Secretary General was giving a speech, when some people came and asked to stop the meeting. At that time, they returned due to the resistance of our leaders and activists. A little later, they organized themselves and attacked with sticks. About 20 people were injured in this. Of these, 6 people, including Milan, have been admitted to the hospital.
He said, when he first called Kafrul Police Station for help, SI Enamul advised him to call the OC. Later, the army came and brought the situation under control.
Earlier, on March 8, there was an attack on the Jatiya Party's Iftar Mahfil at Community Center No. 2 adjacent to Pallabi Police Station.
