10 injured in BCL attack at Kurigram Govt College
Chhatra League (BCL) activists of Kurigram Government College unit yesterday attacked the activists of Progotishil Chhatra Jote allegedly for observing a token strike at the college.
Six of the ten injured Jote activists were admitted to Kurigram Sadar Hospital.
According to student sources, filling of forms for the Honours final year examination was going on at the college. Demanding reduction of fees, some of the final year students under the banner of Progotishil Chhatra Jote held a rally and later started observing a token strike in front of the college academic building Monday morning. At that time, some BCL activists asked them to call off the strike.
Yesterday noon when the Jote activists called the strike again, the BCL activists assaulted them, leaving at least 10 Jote men injured.
A BCL leader, however, said that general students, not BCL activists, attacked the Jote men and ousted them from the campus.
