Maulana Ahmad Abdul Kaiyum, assistant secretary general of Islami Andolan Bangladesh and president of the party’s Dhaka South unit, expressed deep concern over reports of armed demonstrations in educational institutions expected after July. Speaking on Friday at the party’s monthly meeting in Purana Paltan, Dhaka, he said universities are meant to produce world-class citizens and researchers, not to become grounds for political confrontation.

He criticized both the government and opposition student organizations for displaying weapons over minor incidents, warning that such actions endanger the nation’s future generation. Kaiyum alleged that the government, despite winning recent elections, has pushed key state sectors, including the financial system, toward collapse. He further claimed that citizens are living in insecurity while the home minister has remained silent and both political camps have failed to control their student wings.

The meeting was attended by several senior leaders of Islami Andolan Bangladesh’s Dhaka South unit, including Abdul Awal Majumdar, Altaf Hossain, and others.
