The BNP’s student wing, Chhatra Dal, formed a 22-member committee at Pabna Medical College, but controversy erupted after it was revealed that 11 members were former Chhatra League leaders. Just 24 hours after the announcement, the central Chhatra Dal suspended the committee. The newly appointed General Secretary, Hasibul Hasan Shuvo, denied any past affiliation with Chhatra League but acknowledged that some active Chhatra League leaders had been added without approval.
