BCL attacks Nur at DU; 20 hurt

Leaders and activists from Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) allegedly carried out an attack on Nurul Hoque Nur, the president of Gono Odhikar Parishad, in front of Dhaka University's TSC on Wednesday, reports UNB.
At least 20 leaders and activists from the Chhatra Odhikar Parishad were injured, including Nur, who sustained serious injuries.
The incident occurred around 4:30 pm when Bangladesh Chhatra Odhikar Parishad members were attempting to hold a pre-scheduled rally to protest attacks on leaders and activists of other political parties, the killing of Madrasa student Rejaul Karim during AL's peace rally at Baitul Mukarram, and the arrests of BUET students.
Opposing the Chhatra Odhikar Parishad's programme, Bangladesh Chhatra League activists organised a rally under the banner of 'general students of Dhaka University.'
When the Chhatra Odhikar Parishad members arrived at TSC to hold their rally, they were attacked by Bangladesh Chhatra League activists.
Witnesses reported that the Chhatra League activists were already in an alert position before the Chhatra Odhikar Parishad activists arrived.
Upon their arrival, the BCL activists blocked them and instigated a confrontation, they said.
Some of the Chhatra League activists brought motorcycles and honked loudly. Eventually, the situation escalated, and the BCL activists started attacking the Chhatra Odhikar Parishad members.
During the attack, the Chhatra Odhikar Parishad activists ran towards Doyel Chattar from the Raju monument, and the attackers chased them.
