Mir Mohiuddin, vice-president of Chuadanga BNP and chairman of Alamdanga municipality, who narrowly escaped a bomb attack on Tuesday, alleged that some of his party men including the brother of a local lawmaker were involved in the incident.A half-day hartal was enforced in Chuadanga by BNP and its front organisations protesting the bomb attack. Injured Mohiuddin told journalists at Kushtia General Hospital on Thursday that Ohidul Islam Biswas, was the mastermind. "Ohidul wants to kill me as I am popular," Mohiuddin said. Ohidul knows he will not be acceptable to people if I contest the next parliamentary election. "This man (Ohidul) threatened me and tried twice earlier to kill me but failed", Mohiuddin said. Mohiuddin rejected the claims made by a 'new' underground party that it was behind the bomb attack. "There is no underground party in the name of communist war", he said. Mohiuddin filed a case with Alamdanga police station accusing Ohidul, JCD leader Hasibul, Rony, Sentu and two others. Mohiuddin said he informed party high-ups about the matter and sought security. Besides Mohiuddin, his brother Ismail Uddin and journalist Atiur Rhman Mukul were injured in the attack. Police on Wednesday arrested Hasibul and freed Alamadanga poura BNP president Hamidul Azam and Abul Kasem, held soon after the incident. Additional Deputy Inspector General of Police (Khulna range) visited the spot on Thursday and directed police to arrest the criminals anyhow. According to party source, there is a serious conflict in Chuadanga BNP. The party is now divided into three groups, one led by Ohidul Islam, one by Krishak Dal leader Samsuzzaman Dudu and the other by Mir Mohiuddin.
