Jamaat-e-Islami lawmaker Mohammad Rashedul Islam Rashed, elected from Sherpur-1, described August 4 as a painful day after the February 12 election. Speaking in parliament on Thursday, he alleged that activists of Chhatra Dal attacked Islami Chhatra Shibir activists at different campuses.

He made the remarks on the first day of the third session of the 13th National Parliament, chaired by Major (retd) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed. Rashed said a similarly unwanted incident occurred at Dhaka College, where a lawyer was attacked.

According to the lawmaker, the lawyer completely lost vision in one eye and the condition of the other eye was critical. Rashed also said he was made the main or one of the principal accused in a case filed over the incident, despite not being present there. He said he had no involvement and was occupied with other work in another area at the time.
