At Kishoreganj’s Gurudayal Government College grounds, students staged a protest by hurling shoes at a portrait of BNP leader Fazlur Rahman, declaring him “unwanted” in the district. BNP’s Kishoreganj Organizing Secretary Haji Israil Mia said Rahman had ignored repeated warnings against making anti-party statements that undermined the July Movement and Islamic political groups. Jamaat leader Prof. Ramzan Ali accused Rahman of using “derogatory” language against the movement while praising the Liberation War. In response, Rahman defended himself, saying his comments were misrepresented and aimed at highlighting BNP as a pro-Liberation War party.
