Supporters of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Iqbal staged a rail blockade at Sararchar station in Bajitpur, Kishoreganj, after the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) replaced him with Syed Ehsanul Huda as its nominee for the Kishoreganj–5 (Nikli–Bajitpur) constituency. Protesters placed tree trunks on the railway tracks, halting train operations, including the Dhaka–Kishoreganj intercity service, for nearly an hour before traffic resumed. The nomination shift followed Huda’s decision earlier in the week to dissolve his own political party, the Bangladesh National Party, and join the BNP with his followers. The move sparked anger among Iqbal’s supporters, who viewed the replacement as a breach of internal party commitments. Station officials confirmed that train services were temporarily suspended due to the blockade. The incident underscores growing internal tensions within the BNP ahead of the upcoming national elections. Party leaders have yet to comment publicly on the protests, but observers suggest the nomination reshuffle could deepen factional divides in several constituencies.
