A clash erupted in Sirajganj on Monday night when a BNP campaign rally came under alleged attack by Jamaat-e-Islami activists. The incident occurred around 8 p.m. in Dumur Isha village of Bahuli Union under Sirajganj Sadar upazila. Six Chhatra Dal activists were injured and admitted to Sirajganj General Hospital, with one in critical condition who may be transferred to Dhaka. Local tension remains high following the violence.

Sirajganj district BNP general secretary and election coordination chief Sayedur Rahman Bachchu accused 300–400 Jamaat activists of launching a planned assault using iron rods and steel pipes, claiming the attack aimed to disrupt election campaigning. He alleged that Jamaat was trying to destabilize the electoral environment. In response, district Jamaat assistant secretary Shahidul Islam denied the accusation, asserting that BNP activists had attacked their rally first, injuring five to seven Jamaat members.

Sirajganj General Hospital’s resident medical officer confirmed that six injured individuals were treated, three of whom were released after primary care. Police officials have yet to provide further comment on the incident.
