Women activists of Jamaat-e-Islami in Gopalpur upazila, Tangail, held a protest march on Tuesday demanding justice for an alleged assault by BNP supporters. The incident reportedly occurred on Monday in Suti Nayapara village of Gopalpur municipality’s Ward No. 7, where several women Jamaat workers were attacked while campaigning for Maulana Humayun Kabir, the Jamaat candidate for Tangail-2 constituency. The attackers were identified as followers of local BNP activists.

In response, the women’s wing of Jamaat organized a protest procession starting from Gohata Jame Mosque premises at 11 a.m., which marched through various streets of the municipal area and ended with a human chain and rally in front of Gopalpur Police Station. The event was presided over by Gopalpur upazila Jamaat Amir Habibur Rahman Talukdar, with speeches from Maulana Humayun Kabir and several district-level women leaders including Nasrin Sultana and Rahima Sultana.

The protesters demanded accountability for those involved in the attack and called for fair treatment of their activists during the election campaign.
