A group of students participating in the 47th BCS examination have begun a hunger strike demanding an extension of the written exam schedule, arguing that the 40-day preparation period is insufficient. On Saturday evening, Sheikh Mahbubur Rahman Nahiyan, Secretary General of the Islami Chhatra Andolon Bangladesh, visited the Central Shaheed Minar with a delegation to express solidarity with the protesting students. Nahiyan criticized the Public Service Commission’s (PSC) decision to hold the exam on short notice, calling it unfair and detrimental to candidates, especially first-time participants. He emphasized that the PSC has a moral and constitutional duty to ensure a fair and student-friendly examination system. The organization pledged continued support for the students’ peaceful protest until their demands are met. Several other leaders of the Islami Chhatra Andolon, including Imran Hossain Noor and Muhammad Faizul Islam, were also present at the event.
