BNP’s student wing leader, Rakibul Islam, declared that Islami Chhatra Shibir would be confronted wherever they attempt to pursue clandestine politics—whether on campuses or on the streets.

Speaking at a protest, Rakib said, “For the last 15 and a half years, Shibir has survived through secret politics. If they are still too ashamed to operate openly, I challenge them to wear burqas and bangles while doing politics. Student politics belongs to the courageous and the conscientious—not the cowards.”

He alleged that despite their claim of fearing none but Allah, Shibir leaders had long feared Sheikh Hasina more than God. He accused them of colluding with Chhatra League in violent attacks on general students and BNP activists while remaining shielded by anonymity.

At the same event, activist Nasir Uddin recalled how a left-wing female activist faced public threats of gang rape from Shibir after filing a writ petition against their candidate in the DUCSU election. He condemned the ongoing cyberbullying and physical assaults on female political activists and accused Dhaka University authorities of sheltering Shibir’s underground politics.
