Leaders and activists of the Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) at Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur held a celebratory rally after the announcement of their full committee on July 7, 2026. The partial committee had been declared seven months earlier, and the rally took place on Friday following the full announcement.

Many general students expressed frustration, arguing that the university administration had previously banned all partisan student politics on campus. They questioned the effectiveness of that decision and the administration’s stance, as political activities appeared to continue openly. Social media discussions reflected widespread criticism, with students demanding equal enforcement of university policies for all groups.

University officials stated that a five-member committee had been formed to review whether student politics would remain banned or be reinstated. The committee, led by the student adviser and including hall provosts, is expected to submit its recommendations before the next syndicate meeting.
