A new student organization, ‘Democratic Students’ Union’, has made its debut with former coordinators. Abu Baker Majumder has been appointed as the central convener of the organization. In addition, Zahid Ahsan has been appointed as the member secretary of the student organization, Tahmid Al Mudassir as the main organizer. And Ashrefah Khatun has become the spokesperson of the organization. This student organization made its debut at a press conference at the Madhur Canteen of Dhaka University on Wednesday (February 26) afternoon.

Former office cell secretary of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, Zahid Ahsan, said that the central committee of Bangladesh Democratic Students’ Union includes Abu Baker Majumder as the convener, Towhid Mohammad Siam as the senior joint convener, Zahid Ahsan as the member secretary, Rifat Rashid as the senior member secretary, and Tahmid Al Mudassir Chowdhury as the main organizer, and Ashrefah Khatun as the spokesperson.

The former coordinators said that the policy of the new student organization will be ‘Students First’ and ‘Bangladesh First’. They will work towards implementing the interests of students and citizens. The new student organization will not follow anyone’s lead. It will not implement the agenda of any ‘mother party’. The leadership of the new organization will be elected through a democratic process. Meanwhile, even before the name of the organization was announced, internal conflicts over “positions” have come to light. During this time, two groups were seen shouting slogans inside and outside the Madhur Canteen.
