Dhaka, Dec. 12 -- Senior BNP leader Mirza Abbas has come under fire from supporters of Sharif Osman bin Hadi when he arrived at the hospital to see the injured independent hopeful for Dhaka-8 and Inqilab Mancha convener.

Around 4pm on Friday, as Abbas, the BNP-nominated candidate for the constituency, reached the emergency department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Inqilab Mancha activists and Hadi's supporters began shouting "fake, fake" slogans against him.

Army personnel later provided security for the BNP Standing Committee member and enabled him to enter the hospital building.

During this time, Inqilab Mancha leaders and activists continued shouting various slogans.
