Umaama Fatema, a Dhaka University student leader, has faced criticism after submitting a petition to ban politics in the Sufia Kamal Hall without naming leftist student organizations. In her letter to the hall provost on Friday, she referenced a previous agreement to prohibit all political activities in the hall but alleged that some groups had been secretly active. Controversy arose as she omitted leftist groups like the Student Union, which had recently formed a hall committee. Later, Fatema clarified that her demand was for banning politics of all groups, including leftist organizations.
