Leaders of Bangladesh’s opposition youth wing, Jubo Dal, have alleged that the killing of their leader Golam Kibria was a politically motivated act intended to derail the upcoming February national election and undermine the electoral environment. Speaking at a meeting organized by the South Jubo Dal at the Diploma Engineering Institute in Dhaka, they stated that Kibria’s murder was not an isolated incident but part of a broader attempt to create instability. The leaders urged the government to intensify efforts to arrest the perpetrators and warned that Jubo Dal would take to the streets if provoked. They emphasized the need for a swiftly elected government to steer the country out of crisis and accused certain groups of manipulating the political process to delay the polls. The meeting concluded with a rally from Kakrail to Nayapaltan, where participants pledged to work for the victory of candidates representing the BNP’s electoral symbol, the paddy sheaf.
