Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir’s central president, Nurul Islam Saddam, issued a stern warning to the government and Jagannath University administration regarding the upcoming Jagannath University Central Students’ Union (JAKSU) and hall elections scheduled for January 6. He made the statement on Friday, January 2, through a post on his verified social media account, cautioning that failure to hold the election would make both the administration and the government responsible.

Saddam alleged that conspiracies were underway to prevent the JAKSU election, which had already been postponed once. He claimed that the postponement was influenced by known parties and that similar interference had occurred in previous student union elections. He emphasized that students were determined to secure their rights.

Earlier, the JAKSU election scheduled for December 30 was suspended during a special syndicate meeting. Following protests from candidates and students, the university administration rescheduled the vote for January 6. However, uncertainty remains among students about whether the election will take place on the announced date.
