It's about Facebook status this time
Over posting a derogatory status on Facebook, Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists stabbed a fellow of a rival faction at Chittagong University yesterday, spreading panic on the campus.
Mofazzal Haider Hossain, a third-year student of fine arts at CU, with several injury marks in the head, legs and back, was admitted to Chittagong Medical College Hospital.
Inspector Mokaddesh Mia, in-charge of CU police outpost, said some five BCL men loyal to CU BCL General Secretary Fazle Rabby Sujan stabbed Mofazzal, loyal to CU unit BCL President Mohammad Alamgir Tipu, in front of Shahjalal Hall on the campus around 4:00pm.
Immediately afterwards, the two rival factions took positions at Shahjalal Hall and Shah Amanat Hall, dominated by the president and GS respectively, spreading panic on the campus, he said.
The GS alleged Mofazzal and Irfatul Alam Pitu -- a third year student of History department -- have been posting derogatory statuses on Facebook for long insulting his leader ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury, president of Chittagong city unit of Awami League, and Mohiuddin's family.
The incident first emerged Friday night when Pitu, also the follower of Tipu, posted a derogatory status on Facebook against Mohiuddin and his family, leading to chases between the two groups, said sources.
“After the incident, on the very night, Pitu and Mofazzal were asked not to come to the campus for a few days as most of the activists of our group were fed up with them,” said Sujan.But ignoring the advice, Mofazzal came to the campus, triggering the incident, he added.
BCL President Tipu said, “As far as I know, they (Pitu and Mofazzal) did not post any derogatory status.”
In their bid to cover up their offence, they (Sujan-led faction) are spreading false propaganda against our activists, Tipu claimed. Both the president and GS said organisational action will be taken against those responsible.
Tipu and Sujan are known as the followers of Chittagong City Corporation Mayor AJM Nasir Uddin and Mohiuddin Chowdhury respectively.
