Nasir Uddin Nasir, the General Secretary of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party's (BNP) student unit, Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal, has criticized the Islami Chhatra Shibir's council meeting, calling it staged and theatrical.
Nasir made these remarks while responding to questions from journalists after paying homage to the grave of the founder of BNP and former President Ziaur Rahman on the occasion of the 46th anniversary of the founding of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal on Wednesday.
Nasir Uddin Nasir said: "Shibir does not want to engage in politics publicly. They work secretly. The council they held yesterday was a staged and theatrical event. The leadership positions were pre-determined."
He further said: "For the last 15 years, fascism prevailed. But now it's gone. Still, they continue secret politics. This organization (Shibir) has deceived the public and ordinary students by holding a theatrical council."
It is worth mentioning that, after almost 14 years, a public central council of Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir was held on Tuesday.
Zahidul Islam was elected as president, and Nurul Islam was elected as the Secretary-General.
Zahidul Islam was previously the Secretary-General of the past committee.
According to the constitution of Chhatra Shibir, the central president consults with the executive committee and nominates Nurul Islam as the Secretary-General.
Before this, the newly elected central president had previously held various positions, including Secretary-General, Central Office Secretary, Central Literature Secretary, Central Publication Secretary, Central International Secretary, Central Debate Secretary, Narayanganj Metropolitan President, and President of Jagannath University.
Zahidul Islam completed his Honours and Master's degrees in English from Jagannath University.
He is currently pursuing an MBA in the HRM department at a private university.
The newly nominated Secretary-General, Nurul Islam, has previously served as the Central Office Secretary, Central Literature Secretary, Central Planning and Development Secretary, Central Education Secretary, and President of Khulna Metropolitan.
He has completed his Honours and Master's degrees in Economics from Khulna University and is currently studying for a Master's in HRM at Dhaka University.
