Two factions of the Dinajpur district unit of Chhatra Dal held separate and opposing programs on May 4, 2026, following the announcement of a new convening committee. Supporters of the newly formed committee organized a celebratory procession in front of the district BNP office, while another faction protested, demanding the committee’s cancellation. The protest march started from the Academy School premises and ended at Lili Mor via Modern Mor.

Acting president of the new committee, Rubel Islam, criticized the formation process, alleging that dedicated grassroots leaders who had suffered under the Awami government were excluded. Former general secretary Md. Abuzar Setu expressed frustration at not being informed about the new committee and urged central leaders to coordinate with the previous district committee before finalizing appointments.

According to a circular signed by central Chhatra Dal president Rakibul Islam Rakib and general secretary Nasir Uddin Nasir, Md. Abdur Razzak was named convener, Zakaria Habib Jony senior joint convener, and six others joint conveners. The committee was instructed to form a full panel within 30 days.
