An activist of Jamaat-e-Islami has succumbed to his injuries after his partymen engaged in a violent clash with BNP members at Jhenaigati upazila in Sherpur on Wednesday. At least 50 political activists from both sides were injured in the clash, with Jamaat claiming at least half of the victims were its men. Candidates from different parties, including BNP and Jamaat, also took their seats at the stage. BNP candidate Mahmudul Haq Rubel alleged that Jamaat activists were behind the “planned violence” in a bid to destabilise the entire country. Many BNP activists were injured in the clash, he claimed.
