Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), the student wing of BNP, staged a protest rally on Monday condemning alleged efforts to create mobs and destabilize educational institutions. The march, which began in Nayapaltan and ended in Shahbagh, aimed to counter what JCD called covert attempts by rival groups, especially Shibir, to misrepresent them and disrupt student activism. JCD General Secretary Nasir Uddin claimed the recent Mitford murder is being used to spread confusion and malign his organization. He insisted the rally was peaceful and meant to expose such conspiracies.
