Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal president Rakibul Islam Rakib accused senior leaders of Islami Chhatra Shibir of advising attacks while being occupied with alleged “women scandals.” He made the remarks in a Facebook post on Tuesday night, following clashes involving student groups at Jagannath University.

In his post, Rakib alleged that Shibir activists carried out an armed campus attack at night with a Jamaat parliamentary candidate and others, and held open armed displays. He questioned whether such conduct represented what he described as their Islamic and honest governance. The source presents these statements as Rakib’s allegations.

On Tuesday, activists of Chhatra Dal, Islami Chhatra Shibir and Chhatra Shakti clashed at Jagannath University. Several people were injured, including activists from the three student organisations, university students and several journalists. The source did not provide further details on the cause of the clashes or responses from the groups named in Rakib’s post.
