Over this, some BCL activists of the college unit, led by their General Secretary Mirza Sharif, called on the Shibir activists for a talk around 2:00am yesterday, he said.
The two parties, however, locked into a quarrel and, at one stage, the BCL men assaulted the Shibir men, he said.
The injured were given treatment at Dinajpur Medical College Hospital, he added.
Contacted, Mirza Sharif said the Shibir men's posters displayed anti-state slogans in the name of Ramadan.
“We asked them to stop such activities, but no beating incident took place,” he added.
The college authorities said a meeting will be held on Sunday to resolve the issue.
