BNP Election Steering Committee spokesperson Mahdi Amin has described the violence in Sherpur, which erupted during an election manifesto announcement, as deeply regrettable and undesirable. Speaking at a press conference at the party’s Gulshan office on Thursday, he said the conflict and resulting death over a trivial seating dispute were unacceptable. Amin alleged that Jamaat-e-Islami activists had occupied all chairs at the event and refused to vacate seats allocated for BNP members despite repeated administrative requests.
He stated that the party had expected a festive and peaceful election atmosphere following the recent mass uprising, but the Sherpur incident disrupted that hope. Citing social media footage, Amin claimed that police, administration, army, and senior BNP leaders had urged the Jamaat candidate to take an alternative route to avoid confrontation, but he ignored the advice. One person was killed and more than 40 BNP activists were injured, several critically.
Amin demanded a prompt and credible investigation and urged the interim government to prevent recurrence of such incidents. He also called for all political parties to act responsibly and for law enforcement agencies to strengthen their role in ensuring a fair election.
