A controversy erupted after Chattogram North District Jubo Dal’s joint general secretary, Iftekhar Mahmud Zipson, made a statement involving the word 'arms' during a preparatory meeting for BNP’s candidate Nurul Amin in the Mirsharai constituency. The comment went viral on social media, prompting criticism within and outside the party. Following the backlash, the Jubo Dal central committee issued a show-cause notice instructing Zipson to appear in person within three days to explain his remarks before the party’s top leadership. The notice stated that his comments had embarrassed the organization and damaged its image. In response, Zipson clarified that his use of the word 'arms' referred metaphorically to courage, not weapons, and claimed his statement had been distorted. He expressed his commitment to the party and said he would personally explain the matter to the central committee in Dhaka.
