Lakshmipur:
A clash broke out between the Awami League and Jubo League in Kamalnagar, Laxmipur, over the sitting at a puja mandap in the presence of an MP. The incident took place at around 8:45 pm on Wednesday (September 27) in Hazirhat Bazar in front of Hazirhat Sri Sri Hari Narayan Sevashram in the upazila. Police present at the spot brought the situation under control.
The incident has caused pent-up anger among market traders, worshippers and the general public. However, eyewitnesses said that tensions have been rising between the Awami League and the Jubo League.
Former Kamalnagar Upazila Jubo League president Fazlul Haque Sabuj said,
Abdullah Al Mamun, MP for Lakshmipur-4 (Ramgati-Kamalnagar) constituency, visited the Hazirhat Bazar Puja Mandap.
At that time, Upazila A'League Senior Vice President and Hazirhat Union Parishad Chairman Md. Nizam Uddin suddenly pushed him with both hands. Later, after the event, Fazlul Haque Sabuj and Jubo League joint convener Ahsan Ullah Hiron informed the MP about the matter.
During this time, UP Chairman Md. Nizam Uddin, Haji Harun Rashid and Jubo League leader Hiron had an argument, inappropriate behavior and a fight between them, which was controlled by the police present.
Meanwhile, Kamalnagar Upazila AL Senior Vice President and Hazirhat Union Parishad Chairman Md. Nizam Uddin denied the incident.
He said, "No such incident of Sabuj and Hiran has happened to me."
Multiple attempts to contact Lakshmipur-4 (Ramgati-Kamalnagar) MP Mohammad Abdullah Al Mamun on mobile phone to inquire about the incident were unsuccessful.
