BNP’s student wing leaders have accused Jamaat-e-Islami and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) of forming mobs to influence the Election Commission’s decisions. At a press briefing held on Sunday, January 18, in front of the Election Commission building, Chhatra Dal General Secretary Nasir Uddin Nasir alleged that since August 5, Jamaat and NCP have repeatedly mobilized crowds to force changes in commission decisions. He urged the commission to act independently and not yield to mob pressure.

Nasir also criticized the Election Commission’s handling of postal ballots, describing it as poor management. He claimed that postal ballots were found in the homes of Jamaat and Shibir members, and that the commission itself admitted to management shortcomings. Chhatra Dal President Rakibul Islam Rakib added that the Shahjalal University student union election had been postponed until February 12 following a ministry directive, but the commission later reversed that decision. He said the commission had been informed of their position and would discuss the matter.

The statements reflect ongoing tensions between student political groups and the Election Commission over electoral management and decision-making transparency.
