Islami Chhatra Andolon Bangladesh condemned alleged attacks, clashes and violence involving activists of Chhatra Dal and Chhatra Shibir at educational institutions across Bangladesh. In a joint statement issued on the afternoon of August 4, central president Muntachir Ahmad and secretary general Sultan Mahmud called for an end to terrorist politics on campuses. They cited incidents at Dhaka College, Dhaka Alia, Begum Rokeya University and Jagannath University, among other institutions.

The organisation alleged that Chhatra Dal attacked Dhaka College branch vice-president Raisul Islam, other responsible activists and general students. It also alleged that Chhatra Shibir vandalised rooms of responsible activists at a Dhaka Alia hall. The leaders said educational institutions should be places for learning, morality and healthy political development, where attacks, domination and displays of weapons are unacceptable.

They said students had expected safe, peaceful campuses open to expression in the post-July period, but recent clashes, attacks and weapon displays had disappointed those expectations. The group demanded impartial investigations into all attacks, identification of those involved and exemplary punishment. It also urged all student organisations to act responsibly to ensure tolerance, mutual respect and a peaceful political environment on campuses.
