Sheikh Tasnim Afroze Imi, former VP of Shamsunnahar Hall and now contesting for Ducsu VP as part of the Left Democratic Student Alliance, has come under scrutiny after a resurfaced video showed her supporting lifetime Ducsu membership for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
In the 2019 video, Imi said:
“As elections in my hall were fair, even if some were not elsewhere, I must acknowledge that without the Prime Minister’s sincerity this Ducsu election could not have been organized fairly. She was once a student here, and her warmth and hospitality to us at Ganabhaban deserve gratitude. At least for that reason, she should be declared a lifetime member of Ducsu.”
Despite opposition from then-VP Nurul Haq Nur, the declaration went ahead without his or Akhtar Hossain’s support. Responding to the renewed circulation, Imi wrote: “A selective clip is being spread. My position is clear: I am innocent, and I demand the highest justice for those who ordered student killings. Full stop.”
