Salahuddin Ammar, former coordinator of the Rajshahi University chapter of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, has been accused of extortion under the guise of donations. He allegedly sent letters requesting a total of Tk 7.6 million from 70 organizations for a concert titled "July 36: Festival of Freedom" scheduled for August 5. RU Vice-Chancellor Saleh Hassan Naqib confirmed he endorsed the appeal, stating he has supported similar cultural events in the past. Despite criticism, organizers argue that seeking donations for such programs is standard practice.
