Lawmaker Muhiuddin Khan Alamgir yesterday incurred the wrath of reportedly Jamaat-BNP activists while attending a Waz Mahfil at Uzani Madrassa in the district.
Locals said some activists of Jamaat, Hefazat and BNP in the guise of devotees hurled abuses and bricks at the former home minister.
They also vandalised three vehicles including the one for the lawmaker.
Mahfil Director Maulana Abdur Rahman, also education secretary of the madrasa, called upon the assailants over microphone to restrain from going berserk, but they were heedless of the request.
They also tried to bring in more people on the premises in their favour, chanting Jamaat-e-Islami slogan.
Police fired 13 rounds of blank shots to take control of the situation.
Maulana Abdur Rahman termed the attack pre-planned.
No madrassa students were involved in the attack, he said, adding that the attack had been carried out in order to tarnish the image of the madrassa.
“We condemn the attack,” he said.
Assistant Police Superintendent Abu Hanif said some individuals went berserk while the former home boss was delivering speech.
Mahfil organisers requested them to calm down while the latter hurled bricks at Alamgir.
The lawmaker left the spot in a hurry for safety.
Chandpur Police Superintendent Ameer Jafar said he came to know about the attack.
Jamaat-Hefazat-BNP activists might be involved in the attack, he said, adding that legal action would be taken after proper investigation.
