At an event held at Jagannath University, Jamaat leader Shafiqul Islam Masud stated that previously, students from opposition groups had to seek permission to enter the university premises or attend exams, often facing attacks by the ruling student wing, Chhatra League. However, today, student organizations including Chhatra Shibir and others share the same platform peacefully at the same university. Masud emphasized that Jagannath University will not only be a model within Bangladesh but also serve as an example of democracy and coexistence worldwide. He added that the rise of fascism in Bangladesh was instigated by journalists, who also played a crucial role in its downfall. Masud recalled a journalist questioning Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina about quota policies, to which Hasina famously replied, "If freedom fighter quotas are not given, will the children of Razakars receive them?"
