Nahid Islam denied that Sadik Kayem was a coordinator of the group known as “Baibichaa,” asserting that he only adopted that label after August 5. “He falsely claimed that the Dhaka University chapter led the coup,” said Nahid. “This wasn’t the doing of Shibir alone, nor was it directed by them.” Nahid alleged that on August 2, 2024, a faction led by Zulkarnaine Sayer attempted a military coup. Students in a so-called “safe house” were pressured to demand single-point demands via Facebook and cut ties with other groups. He also accused BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul of lying about receiving proposals for a national government from student leaders, stating that such a proposal was indeed sent to Tarique Rahman but rejected.
