Two factions of BNP's student front Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) on Tuesday fought a battle in front of BNP's Nayapaltan central office following a conflict over the formation of its new committee, reports UNB.
A group of JCD leaders and activists who are in favour of forming the new committee of the student body with specific age limit took position in front of the BNP office since morning.
Another group who has been on a movement since June 10 demanding the withdrawal of the age limit also gathered in front of BNP office around 12pm and chased their opponents.
They swooped on the ground floor of the BNP office as other group took position inside it.
The demonstrating JCD leaders turned the electricity main switch off, disrupting power supply to the office, and pushed its security staff out of the gate, vandalising their desks.
They continued their agitation in front of the BNP office for an hour and chanted various slogans in favour of their demand.
Talking to reporters before ending their programme, ex-vice president of the dissolved JCD committee Iktiar Kabir said they are going to keep their agitation programme postponed on Wednesday on the occasion of International Day in Support of Victims of Torture.
"BNP leaders are contacting us. We want the age limit to be withdrawn and a new council announced to resolve the problem."
He said they hope that BNP senior leaders will take proper steps to resolve the problem by today (Wednesday). "Or else, we'll resume our agitation programme on Thursday."
