Hasibul Huq Bhuiyan Sajib, joint-secretary of BCL JU unit, came under attack by the junior BCL activists, mostly students of 33rd and 34th batches, who demanded immediate formation of a full-fledged committee to gear up BCL activities on the campus before the care taker government takes office.

Sajib received head injuries during the clash. He was first taken to university medical centre and then to Enam Medical College and Hospital (EMCH).

The junior activists became furious with Sajib following an altercation with him over formation of a full-fledged committee.

Soon after the incident, a group of BCL cadres stabbed Ashik, a BCL activist, at Battola at 1:30pm, eyewitnesses said.

Ashik is now undergoing treatment at EMCH and his condition is stated to be critical.

The activists of BCL got divided into two factions in the early morning yesterday following a row over formation of the full-fledged committee.

The incumbent committee comprising 31 members was formed about six months back when the committee was instructed to make preparation for a full-fledged committee of 101-member.

"The clash erupted over formation of a full-fledged committee," said Sohel Parvez, president of BCL JU unit.
