At a protest rally, Islami Chhatra Shibir leader Nurul Islam Saddam criticized BNP’s student wing, Chhatra Dal, saying they should focus on student rights instead of attacking Shibir in their speeches.

Saddam alleged attempts are underway to block student union elections across campuses, including Dhaka University, with administrative interference influenced by outside forces. He also claimed a campaign of cyberbullying and harassment is targeting Shibir activists and female students.

Highlighting past incidents, Saddam said:
“Chhatra Dal is the organization responsible for the 2002 incidents of harassment and sexual violence at Rokeya Hall and Shamsun Nahar Hall. It was at their hands that BUET’s Soni lost his life. After the political upheaval, at least 30 rape cases were linked to their activists.”

He accused university administrations at Chittagong and Bangladesh Agricultural University of failing to ensure student safety, warning, “No campus can function under such conditions.”
