Message: [QUOTE="Queen, post: 84306, member: 27"] Student activists are threatening massive protests over candidate approvals. The group Students Against Discrimination delivered an immediate demand to election officials, calling for the removal of dual citizens and bank loan defaulters from candidate lists. They held a press event near Madhur Canteen at Dhaka University. Chief Coordinator Hasib Al Islam argued that allowing these candidates breaks electoral laws and betrays a past mass uprising. He warned that electing them would fuel more corruption and financial misconduct, harming regular citizens. Islam questioned the commission's impartiality, suggesting one law exists for the public and another for connected candidates. He also accused government bureaucrats of shifting their political loyalties between major parties. The group is compiling a list of officials allegedly involved in serious crimes over many years, vowing to pursue legal action. Spokesperson Synthia Jaheen Ayesha claimed the commission betrayed injured and killed uprising participants by validating these candidates. Ayesha stated approvals were granted despite evidence of foreign passports and unresolved bank cases. She argued that individuals who lived abroad during difficult periods have no right to seek office. Loan defaulters similarly lack the moral standing to represent people, according to the group. The organization warned it would announce severe nationwide actions if its demand is not met. They urged the election body to prove its neutrality by revoking these candidacies. The activists promised to escalate their movement significantly without a satisfactory response. [/QUOTE]
