The incident occurred at the town’s Municipal Community Centre in the presence of Advisor to the BNP Chairperson and former Feni MP Jainal Abedin alias VP Jainal on Wednesday. The injured have been taken to the Sadar Hospital and other local medical institutions for treatment, said Jhenaidah Police OC Harendra Nath Sarkar. According to local BNP activists, a feud had been brewing between Jhenaidah unit President Masiur Rahman and the BNP's central committee's Human Rights Secretary Advocate Asaduzzaman Asad since the announcement of the district’s new 151-member body in January. “Those who conducted the attack were not members of the BNP,” said Jainal Abedin. The meeting resumed once the situation had calmed, said OC Harendra Nath.
