JHENAIDAH, May 22 (UNB): National Citizen Party (NCP) Chief Coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary was attacked with eggs in Jhenaidah on Friday afternoon, triggering clashes that left at least six people injured, according to police and party sources.
The incident took place around 2:00 pm in front of the Old Collectorate Mosque in Jhenaidah town after Jumu'ah prayers.
Following the attack, NCP activists staged a protest procession and later took position at Jhenaidah Sadar Police Station, demanding improved law and order in the country and calling for the resignation of the home minister and law minister.
NCP joint member secretary and Jhenaidah municipality mayoral candidate Tarek Reza said Nasiruddin Patwary was leaving the Old DC Court Jame Mosque after Friday prayers when Islami University (IU) unit of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) convener Sahed Ahmed approached him to speak.
During the conversation, JCD activists allegedly threw eggs at him from behind, triggering tensions.
He said the situation quickly escalated into a clash involving both sides, during which several NCP activists were injured. The NCP alleged that JCD supporters also hurled bricks during the attack.
However, IU JCD convener Sahed Ahmed denied involvement, saying he went to request Nasiruddin Patwary to avoid making controversial remarks against BNP senior leaders during his district visits.
Following the attack, Nasiruddin Patwary strongly condemned the incident, alleging that people backed by the law minister and Jhenaidah BNP leaders were involved.
He also demanded the resignation of the home minister and law minister, claiming that the law and order situation had deteriorated severely.
Doctors at Jhenaidah Sadar Hospital said five to six injured youths received primary treatment after being hit by bricks and other objects.
Jhenaidah Sadar Police Station Officer-in-Charge Asaduzzaman said police brought the situation under control and stepped up patrols in key areas of the town.
He said a complaint had not yet been filed, but legal action would be taken after investigation once a written complaint is received.
