At least 25 people were injured in attacks on the rallies of Chhatra Dal (JCD) and Jamaat office in Kachua and Morelganj upazilas Friday. District BNP general secretary Ali Reza Babu said Kachua and Morelganj units of JCD organised separate rallies on the occasion of its 31st founding anniversary. He said 20-25 activists of Chhatra League (BCL) attacked the JCD rally at Signboard Bazaar in Kachua at noon, leaving eight people injured. In another incident, a group of BCL activists attacked the rally of Morelganj Chhatra Dal organised at the house of upazila BNP president Dr Miah Abbasuddin, leaving nine people injured. Meanwhile, eight people were injured during an attack on the Jamaat office at Moghia in Kachua upazila on the same day. District Jamaat Ameer Moshiur Rahman said their office came under attack by a gang of 20-25 during the oath taking ceremony of the upazila Ameer. A Barisal report adds: At least eight people were injured in a clash between two groups of BNP activists in the city's Palashpur area on Friday. Sources said district Chhatra Dal organised a function in front of BNP office complex at Aswini Kumar Hall premises on the occasion of its 31st founding anniversary. But the supporters of local BNP lawmaker Majibor Rahman Sarwar and former BCC Mayor Ahsan Habib Kamal locked in an altercation over selecting chief guest of the programme. At one stage, the feuding groups attacked each other with lethal weapons and sticks, leaving eight people injured from the both sides. One of the injured was admitted to Barisal Sher-e-Bangla Medical College and Hospital.
