On Friday evening, supporters of the Jatiya Party (JP) and Ganadhikar Parishad clashed in Kakrail, prompting heavy deployment of the army and law enforcement. JP members alleged that Ganadhikar supporters attacked them during a march. Ganadhikar Parishad leader Abu Hanif claimed their protest, demanding the banning of Awami League affiliates, was met with stone-throwing near the JP office, injuring 10–15 activists, many of whom were hospitalized.
