Last Friday night, Jatiya Party (JPA) leaders and activists clashed with the People's Rights Council in Bijoynagar in the capital. At that time, law enforcement forces used force to disperse the two sides. At least 50 people, including Nurul Haque Nur, party general secretary Rashed Khan, were injured in the lathicharge in front of the office of the People's Rights Council. Nur was first taken to Islami Bank Hospital in a seriously injured condition. Later, on the advice of doctors, he was admitted to the emergency department of DMCH Hospital around 11 pm.

BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami, NCP and other political parties have condemned and protested the incident. They have commented that the incident is an attempt to politically intimidate.
