Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) Vice President Sadik Kayem has declared that terrorism and mafia rule will not be allowed to take hold in Bangladesh. In a Facebook post on Friday, he alleged that since the announcement of election results, activists of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) have carried out brutal attacks in various areas and issued threats against dissenting students on campuses.

Kayem urged elected representatives and leaders of the ruling political party to act responsibly and end all forms of confrontational politics, ensuring a safe environment for people of differing opinions. He criticized the administration for remaining inactive in the face of ongoing violence and warned that if attacks continue, students will organize strong resistance.

He further stated that in the new Bangladesh following the July revolution, no form of terrorism or mafia system would be allowed to emerge, emphasizing the need for unity and vigilance among citizens and students.
