Student leaders at Rajshahi University (RU) have expressed a collective desire to maintain peaceful coexistence and democratic practices on campus following the 13th national election. Once a hotspot for political violence and dominance, the campus now shows signs of stability, with fewer incidents of clashes, seat trading, and showdowns. Leaders from various student organizations said they aim to focus on campus development, administrative transparency, and increased education funding in the national budget.

Representatives from groups including the Bangladesh Student Federation, Pahari Chhatra Parishad, Socialist Student Front, Chhatra Adhikar Parishad, Chhatra Dal, and Islami Chhatra Shibir shared their perspectives. They acknowledged past violence and dominance but noted that the post-election environment has remained largely peaceful. Some leaders called for justice for past incidents, neutral investigations, and a more accountable administration.

Student leaders believe that sustaining this cooperative approach could transform RU into a model of stability and democratic coexistence. They emphasized that universities should prioritize knowledge, equality, and student welfare over political control or violence.
