Members of the Rajshahi University unit of Islami Chhatra Shibir held a photo session beside a wall writing by Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) that read “Ban secret politics” on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, near the university’s central library. The event followed recent tensions between the two student groups over similar wall writings at Chattogram City College.

Tajul Islam, the unit’s Dawah secretary and vice president of Motihar Hall Students’ Union, said Shibir’s activities were open and public, citing their involvement in career guidance events, publication festivals, and medical camps. He argued that Shibir had never engaged in secret politics and criticized those who, according to him, had operated secretly for years or from abroad. Unit president Mujahid Faisal stated they took photos beside the wall out of appreciation for the effort and agreed that politics should be conducted openly within the country.

The photo session came a day after JCD members held a protest march demanding a ban on what they called “secret politics” by Jamaat-Shibir on campus.
