At least seven Awami League (AL) activists including Gurudaspur AL's acting president Abdul Aziz Master and general secretary Sahanaz Mollah were injured in a factional clash at Chanchkoir bazar Saturday night. Local administration imposed yesterday Section 144 to avoid any untoward incident. Police and locals said Abdul Aziz was beaten by supporters of rival suspended president Anisur Rahman while he was going to Awami League party office at Chanchkoir bazar on Saturday night. Hearing the news, some supporters of former state minister Abdul Quddus MP attacked Anisur Rahman's men at about 11pm sparking a violent clash between two groups. Injured Aziz and Sahnaz Mollah were being treated in hospitals.
