The central committee of the Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (BNP’s student wing) has suspended Mehedi Hasan Bandhan, literature and publication secretary of Noakhali Science and Technology University (NSTU) Chhatra Dal, for three months. The decision, announced in a press release signed by office secretary Md Jahangir Alam, cited organizational misconduct after Bandhan joined a protest rally demanding justice for the killing of Inquilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi. The suspension followed a campus-wide demonstration on December 18, where students from various backgrounds protested Hadi’s shooting. While central Chhatra Dal leaders organized a separate rally, Bandhan’s participation in the earlier joint protest was deemed a breach of party discipline. NSTU Chhatra Dal president Zahid Hasan stated that the organization respects Hadi’s legacy but must uphold internal rules. The incident highlights ongoing tensions within student political groups over participation in broader civic movements. Observers say the decision underscores the BNP student wing’s efforts to maintain centralized control amid growing campus activism.
