The Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s student wing, Chhatra Dal, held a protest march and rally at Dhaka University on Tuesday night, condemning an alleged attack on its activists and students at Chattogram City College. The demonstration began around 10 p.m. from the TSC area and concluded with a gathering at the base of the Raju Memorial Sculpture.

According to Chhatra Dal, the attack occurred after its members wrote slogans on campus walls opposing “covert politics.” The group accused Islami Chhatra Shibir activists of carrying out the assault, claiming that several students were injured. Central General Secretary Nasir Uddin Nasir addressed the rally, denouncing the violence and warning that any recurrence would face a strong response. He alleged that Shibir’s organizational strength in Chattogram was contributing to repeated incidents of violence.

A press release from the central Chhatra Dal stated that the attack involved outsiders and called for public awareness against “covert politics and violence” in educational institutions.
