Students of Eden Mohila College in Dhaka staged a midnight protest demanding a ban on student politics. The demonstration began around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday when students broke the lock of the main gate and gathered with slogans opposing political activities on campus. Protesters reportedly attempted to set fire to banners and festoons belonging to a student organization.

According to reports, students from Eden College and the proposed Hazrat Rabeya Basri dormitory joined the protest, trying to break several campus gates. They called for an end to all forms of political influence within the institution. The protest followed an earlier incident in which the phrase ‘politics-free campus’ written on the college gate was erased with paint, sparking anger among students.

The incident reflects ongoing tensions over the presence of student politics in educational institutions, with Eden Mohila College once again becoming a focal point for demands to keep campuses free from political activities.
