Thirty-two leaders and activists of Bangladesh Chhatra league, including its Vice-President Tilottama Sikder, have been sued on charges of attacking Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal men at High Court area in the capital on May 26.

The BNP today said that its movement on the streets has been kicked off with the movement of its student wing Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD).

Around 50 people, including a journalist and a lawyer, were reportedly injured as armed members of BCL swooped on JCD leaders and activists in the High Court area yesterday, just two days after violence rocked the Dhaka University campus.

Condemning the attack on Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal at Dhaka University campus by Bangladesh Chhatra League, top leaders of eight progressive student organisations urged the authorities of Dhaka University (DU) to hold the meeting of Paribesh Parishad immediately to ensure congenial atmosphere on campus for students.

A journalist says he was beaten up while covering the clash between activists of Chhatra League and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal on High Court premises near Dhaka University (DU) area today.

Activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) clashed near the High Court, adjacent to Dhaka University campus, this afternoon.
