Attack on Information and Broadcasting Adviser Mahfuz Alam's father Azizur Rahman Bachchu

Information and Broadcasting Adviser Mahfuz Alam's father Azizur Rahman Bachchu has been attacked. The incident of the attack took place on Sunday evening (March 30) at Mahfuz Alam's native village Narayanpur Molla Bari in Ramganj. Adviser Mahfuz Alam's elder brother Mahbub Alam said that when Mehedi Hasan Manju, district vice-president of the banned Chhatra League, came to the area today, two groups of BNP, Chhatra Dal and Swechchhasebak Dal activists went to catch him.

At one point, centering on who would catch him first, the leaders and activists of Chhatra Dal and Swechchhasebak Dal clashed. Mahbub Alam said, "When they tried to stop the clash between the two groups of Chhatra Dal and Swechchhasebak Dal activists, they also clashed with the villagers. When my father tried to stop this three-way clash, BNP activists attacked my father. BNP activists threw bricks at my father and injured him, making him bleed. One of my father's hands was broken in their attack."

He said, "In this clash, I could recognize upazila Chhatra Dal-Swechchhasebak Dal leaders Shukkur, Kader, Faisal (former Chhatra League, now in Chhatra Dal) and Sohag." Source: Janakantha
