Central leaders of the National Citizens Party (NCP) joined their 'March to Gopalganj' rally at the municipal park on Wednesday afternoon, addressing supporters one by one. However, prior to their arrival, activists from the banned Chhatra League attacked the stage at around 1:35 PM, vandalizing the sound system, chairs, and stage setup, and assaulting attendees. Earlier in the day, Chhatra League members attacked the UNO's convoy, set fire to police vehicles, and blocked roads using felled trees. Both the UNO and police officials confirmed that these attacks were aimed at disrupting the NCP's central July campaign.
