BNP activists clashed with police at Khulna Railway Station on Saturday, alleging that they were being obstructed from joining the party's divisional rally.
At around 11:30am, BNP activists coming from different parts of the country got into a fight amongst themselves and vandalized some windows at the station, Khulna Station Master Manik Chandra Sarkar said.
When the police came to the spot after being informed, BNP activists threw brick chips and vandalized more doors and windows of the station, he said.
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Khulna Metropolitan police Sonali Sen said the police didn't obstruct anyone and tried to handle the situation patiently.
Railway Labour Union General Secretary Tajul Islam told UNB that the situation at the rail station was peaceful as the rally began.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh Awami League has claimed that BNP-Jamaat men attacked Khulna Railway Station and ransacked it.
“Bangladesh Railway is our national asset. It is the responsibility of all to protect it,” AL said in a message from its verified Facebook page.
