DHAKA, August 8, 2025 (BSS) - Abdul Kader, Convener of Bangladesh Democratic Student Council (BDSC) - student organisation of newly formed NCP, today said that we do not want any political parties to have organizational structures (committees) in the Halls.

In response to a query of a journalist, Abdul Kader said, "BDSC does not conduct any hall-based activities like other student organisations. We do not want any organisational structures, led by political student parties- in the halls. It is opposite to the spirit of July Mass Uprising,"

Following the announcement of DU JCD committee, he made this announcement at a press conference held in front of the Dhaka University's Madhur Canteen this afternoon

In the press conference they pressed strong warning against the 're-emergence of coercive political practices in the university’s residential halls'.

Speaking at the press conference, Abdul Kader said student uprising had created a turning point in campus politics, with students from various halls vowing never to allow autocratic control of student politics again. 

On the July 17th last year, formal agreements had been signed between students and hall administrations affirming that political organizations would no longer be allowed to operate in the halls, he added. 

Kader also expressed concern over activism of other student parties in the campus area.

“We categorically oppose any political move that undermines students' fundamental rights and renders hall administrations ineffective. In the past, such politics has compromised both the right to education and accommodation,” he added.

BDSC called upon all student organizations to acknowledge the sentiments and concerns of the broader student community and work toward a consensus-based model for campus politics that ensures mutual respect and coexistence.
