Despite being officially banned, members of the Chhatra League remain covertly active across Dhaka University and nearby areas. Investigations reveal that they operate in two segments—one inside the campus handling coordination and intelligence, and another outside executing activities such as flash processions and poster campaigns. Several incidents between May and June 2026 show their continued presence, including rallies, silent protests, and symbolic tributes under the organization’s banner.

Reports indicate that many members conceal their political identity, joining other student or cultural groups to maintain influence. Some have attempted to form a new platform called “Next Gen Bangladesh,” led by Abid Abdullah, to continue operations under a social banner. Funding for their activities reportedly comes from expatriate supporters and political allies. The group also maintains an online presence through fake accounts and coordinated messaging.

Dhaka University authorities, including the vice-chancellor and proctor, have acknowledged the group’s covert activities and pledged action. Political analysts describe the situation as a transitional phase for the banned organization, which may attempt to reemerge publicly if conditions become favorable.
