| [Dhaka Tribune] Opposition platform Jatiya Oikya Front leaders, including its chief Dr Kamal Hossain's motorcade, came under attack in Dhaka on Friday. Dr Kamal's motorcade was attacked by supposed Awami League supporters, after he and other Oikya Front leaders paid their tributes and while exiting the Martyred Intellectuals Memorial in the morning. Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal leader ASM Abdur Rab, Gono Forum candidate Reza Kibria, and Gonoshasthaya Kendra Trustee Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury were with the eminent jurist at the time. Gono Forum Media Wing Officer Latiful Bari Hamim blamed followers of local Awami League candidate Aslamul Haque for the attack. "A number of vehicles were vandalized, including Rab's, while some activists also sustained injuries in the attack," he said. According to the Darussalam cop shoppe OC Selim-uz-Zaman: "Police witnessed scuffle near the memorial’s entrance when Dr Kamal’s convoy was leaving the premises." He said: "We were positioned near the memorial, which is roughly 50 metres away from the gate. By the time we went towards to the gate, everything had been resolved." |
