Jamaat-e-Islami Amir Shafiqur Rahman has declared that Islami Chhatra Shibir’s victory in both Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) and Jahangirnagar University Central Students’ Union (JUCSU) elections will have far-reaching political implications.

Speaking to supporters, he said the results had left many “astonished” and predicted that the win would influence the upcoming national elections. “With those who love us and whom we love, we aim to contest all 300 seats in the next election,” Rahman stated.

He praised party leaders for enduring imprisonment, repression, and even sacrificing their lives under the previous government. According to him, their sacrifices paved the way for today’s “free and independent political environment.”

Referring to the mass uprising of July–August 2024, Rahman called it a turning point that ushered in a “new Bangladesh,” achieved through sacrifice and struggle.
