A student group is vowing to occupy the street until election officials listen. Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal leader Rakibul Islam Rakib declared they will not leave the area facing the Election Commission. He stated the protest would continue overnight if needed to secure their goals.
The group has three main complaints against the Commission. They accuse it of biased decisions on postal ballots, hurting the election's fairness. They also claim reckless actions are being taken due to pressure from a certain political faction.
A third demand involves a student union vote at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology. The Chhatra Dal alleges the EC issued a controversial notification under direct influence from a specific party, threatening campus democracy.
Rakib warned of escalated actions without a positive response. The protest currently blocks a main road, but he threatened to seal the building's primary gate. He referenced previous assurances from the Commission that their logical demands would be met.
The leader noted his group had previously shown restraint by limiting slogan chanting. He claimed the organization has maintained a strong presence across Dhaka and national campuses for many years.
