Rakibul Islam Rakib, President of the Bangladesh Chhatra Dal, stated that leaders and activists of the banned organization Chhatra League were involved in extortion and had directly opened fire on ordinary students during the July mass uprising. He alleged that it is the Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir and the Bangladesh Democratic Student Union (BSDU) who are now working to rehabilitate these banned Chhatra League members.

Rakib further revealed that Saifur Rahman Sakib, General Secretary of Chhatra Shibir at Bangla College, went to the police to secure the release of a Chhatra League activist. "What does this signify? It means they have taken responsibility for the rehabilitation of the banned Chhatra League," he said.

The Chhatra Dal president also claimed to have evidence proving that the current President and Secretary of the Jahangirnagar University branch of Chhatra Shibir are Chhatra League members. Additionally, the President of Dhaka University’s Chhatra Shibir was reportedly directly involved with the Chhatra League committee. Rakib also raised concerns about the central president of Chhatra Shibir allegedly lacking student status.
