BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami have instructed their student fronts—Chhatra Dal and Chhatra Shibir—not to engage in clashes over the results of the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) election.

The directive came after government officials reached out to both parties’ leadership, warning that any unrest would be met with strict action by law enforcement agencies.

BNP leader Salauddin Ahmed confirmed, “We assured the government that Chhatra Dal will not engage in violence or disorder. We have informed our leaders accordingly.”
A Jamaat leader similarly stated that no outsiders would enter the university premises and instructed members to remain vigilant.

Sources revealed that three government advisors, the chief advisor’s special assistant, and the Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner also spoke with BNP and Jamaat leaders to ease tensions.
