The Ganajagaran Mancha brought out a procession at Shahbagh intersection in the capital Friday evening, protesting the attack on Rajshahi University unit Chhatra League General Secretary Touhid Al Tuhin.
It demanded immediate arrest and exemplary punishment to the attackers.
The activists urged everyone to protest against Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir.
They said Jamaat-Shibir had been committing brutal attacks across the country, including the recent one at Rajshahi on Thursday night.
Leaders and activists of Chhatra Sangram Parishad and Chhatra League have decided to stage a demonstration on August 26 on Dhaka University campus and other major universities, protesting the brutal attack.
The decision came at a press meeting chaired by Chhatra League President HM Badiuzzaman Sohag.
Sohag said a protest rally would be held on August 26 demanding punishment to the attackers and ban on politics of Jamaat and Shibir.
Bangladesh Chhatra Moitri President Bappaditya Basu and Jasad Chhatra League President Muhammad Shamsul Islam, among others, attended the meeting.
Earlier, Chhatra League leaders and activists brought out a procession and held a rally on DU campus Thursday night following the attack on Tuhin.
