A confrontation erupted between Swechasebak Dal leaders and activists during BNP's nationwide hunger strike, centred around their one-point demand, at the BNP office in Kanthaltali, Rangamati, on Saturday.
Senior leaders intervened to restore order after the scuffle.
Sources reveal that tensions arose in the district Swechasebak Dal committee following the recent announcement of its members from the central leadership.
Nashir Uddin was appointed as the member secretary, sparking resentment among deposed leaders and activists.
The clash between the two factions ensued after three months of simmering tensions, specifically regarding the involvement of the member secretary in the hunger strike.
Various leaders and activists from nationalist parties and affiliated organizations addressed the hunger strike event.
During their speeches, they emphasized the urgent need for improved treatment for Khaleda Zia.
Doctors have asserted that the required treatment is not available in the country, and pleas to send her abroad for treatment have fallen on deaf ears.
The speakers highlighted the critical nature of the situation, urging immediate action to save her life.
Advocate Mamunur Rashid Mamun, the district BNP general secretary, denounced those who disrupt BNP programs, labelling them as agents of the Awami League.
He emphasized the party's peaceful objectives, asserting that their peaceful stance should not be mistaken for weakness.
From the hunger strike platform, BNP leaders proclaimed that any harm befalling their leader would be met with retaliation from the people of Bengal, underlining their unwavering determination.
