A clash broke out in Thakurgaon between Jubo League, Chatra League and BNP leaders over tearing up campaign posters of BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
BNP leaders claimed that Shecchashebok Dal leader Abu Sayem Parag and local party activists were hanging up Fakhrul’s campaign posters when Jubo League and Chatra League leaders stopped them.
At a point, the clash ensued and Parag was severely injured and is now undergoing treatment at Thakurgaon Sadar Hospital.
