Activist Umama Fatema criticized former Shibir members who, she claims, infiltrated Chhatra League and contributed to a toxic student political culture post-August 5. “For 15 years, many of them used Chhatra League’s name to assert dominance in student halls,” she wrote. Fatema further accused them of sabotaging student causes while pretending to represent the general student body. “They didn’t even join anti-rape protests or movements against rigged elections,” she added.
