BNP leader Nipun Roy has hailed Ganesh Chandra Roy Sahas as a symbol of courage and resistance, rejecting claims that he is a covert agitator.

In a social media post, she wrote: “Sahas is not a revolutionary hiding behind a lungi. His name reflects his fearless spirit. He stood on the streets against injustice during Sheikh Hasina’s autocratic rule, enduring countless cases, assaults, imprisonments, and brutal remand torture.”

Nipun emphasized that Sahas was not an opportunistic leader but a nationalist who spent 16 years fighting fascism on the streets.

“Dhaka University will remember his defiant role for generations,” she concluded.

Notably, Sahas recently faced backlash for a heated exchange with the Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor, where he was seen slamming the table and raising his voice.
