Moazzem Hossain Ratan

Agitated party men at the remote Jamalganj upazila yesterday afternoon swooped on Awami League nominee for Sunamganj-1 Moazzem Hossain Ratan and his companions when they went there for mass contact.
The locals also ransacked his private car and a motorbike. Police later seized the car.
Being chased by the party activists, Ratan took an engine boat and went to the house of district AL organising secretary Rezaul Karim Shamim at Sachnabazar.
Ratan reached the upazila headquarters to join an extended meeting of the AL. But a faction of the party organised an extended meeting at Sachnabazar yesterday. On the other hand, Jamalganj UP chairman Jamal Uddin Azad, Joint secretary of upazila AL Dwijendra Lal and others numbering about 300 were waiting at the upazila headquarters to receive the party candidate.
Bypassing the major faction, Ratan and his men on a car and some motorbikes attempted to start for Sachnabazar meeting.
But, the party activists asked him to join the meeting at the upazila headquarters instead of going to the other faction's meet at Sachnabazar.
An exchange of heated words ensued there and some of the young men swooped on him and his companions. They also ransacked the car and some motorbikes there.
OC of Jamalganj Police Station said, police brought the situation under control but the private car and some motorbikes were ransacked. The car had been taken to the PS, he added.
Moazzem Hossain Ratan had been given party ticket for Sunamganj-1 (Tahirpur, Jamalganj, and Dharmapasha) depriving former lawmakers-Suranjt Sengupta and Syed Rafiqul Haque Sohel, causing a serious commotion among the party men.
However, Sengupa had been given nomination in his home constituency-Sunamganj-2 while Rafiqul filed independently, but that had been cancelled during the scrutiny.
