Several people including BNP leader Tabith Awal were injured after activists of ruling Awami League attacked a candlelit programme of BNP in the capital's Banani area on Saturday (17 September) night. BNP had announced the programme to protest against the abnormal increase in the prices of essential commodities including fuel oil and the recent deaths of three party activists in police firing. The programme was supposed to be held 7-8 pm from Kakali to Gulshan-2 intersection, said BNP joint secretary general Syed Moazzem Hossain who was also injured in the attack.
