Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is now using its student wing Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) to create unrest on campus ahead of the next general elections. The party has now become desperate to see bloodshed on the country’s university campuses, especially at Dhaka University at any cost.
They are now doing everything to create unrest in the country centering the universities with a target to oust the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Therefore, they are making ill attempts to make the campuses unstable by using their student wings.
Leaders and workers of JCD are now collecting weapons to sabotage the next general election instead of studying and doing fair politics. So, it is feared that a plot is being hatched to make the university campuses unstable in order to destabilise the country.
We are also noticing that while the preparation is going to hold the next general election, some elements led by BNP-Jamaat clique are desperate to create unrest in the country centering the universities with a target to oust the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
A special squad of plainclothes police arrested six leaders of JCD from Dhaka’s Lalbagh area on Saturday and recovered 3 illegal firearms and 36 rounds of bullet from the arrestees, according to media report. BNP and Chhatra Dal high commands directed the Dhaka University Chhatra Dal unit and other university units “to topple the current government by inciting fear and panic among the public.”

During the preliminary interrogation, the arrestees said the high command of the BNP and its student wing’s units at Dhaka University and other private universities were planning to strengthen the party’s movement. They were planning to display the illegal firearms and create panic among the public in order to destabilise the country.
Since 2009 arms hooliganism, terrorism and violence on the university campus have been controlled with an iron hand. All universities are now running their academic activities smoothly except some stray incidents. A peaceful environment atmosphere is prevailing on the university campuses.
Authorities of all educational institutions especially public universities must remain cautious and come up with necessary measures to maintain peaceful atmosphere on campuses. As they [BNP] have no options left, they will now depend on movement on campus by instigating the students in many ways. So, the students and teachers will have to be united further in order to thwart any plot to create unrest on campuses.
Apart from keeping up its anti-state conspiracy by appointing lobbyists in different places in the world and investing money at home and abroad, the BNP-Jamaat clique is now instigating the students to create chaos on campus by collecting firearms. To protect universities and its students and ensure peace on campuses, the Chhatra Dal and Chhatra Shibir, the defeated pro-Pakistan anti-liberation forces and their allies must be kept out of campus.
