BNP Vice Chairman Noman pointed the finger at his rival candidate with the ‘boat’ symbol Afsarul Amin MP for the alleged attack at Halishahar Naya Bazar bend in the port city on Sunday afternoon. Noman told the media at his home that he and his supporters came under the attack during a Victory Day programme. The BNP leader added that "never before had he faced any such attack by the Awami League in 50 years of his political career”. Afsarul’s brother Ershadul Amin and Jubo League leader Sumon Debnath led the attackers, he claimed. Local BNP leaders Jasim Uddin Zia and Abdus Sattar were among those injured in the attack, he said.
