Demands for the resignation of Home Affairs Advisor Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury have intensified as concerns over Bangladesh’s deteriorating law and order situation continue to grow. Demonstrations erupted at Dhaka University and other locations, reflecting widespread public discontent.
The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement expressed its solidarity with the protests, its convener Hasnat Abdullah stated during an event at a madrasa in Cumilla’s Brahmanpara on Monday afternoon.
“The overall law and order situation has worsened, and we are striving to restore stability from civil posts. Our efforts are focused on preventing widespread panic among the public,” Hasnat said.
On Sunday night, students at Dhaka University organized protests demanding the resignation of the home affairs advisor. Expressing support for the movement, Hasnat stated, “We stand in solidarity with this cause, which is why we visited the advisor’s residence and found him holding a press conference.”
Earlier in the day, Hasnat attended a farewell and prayer event for the 2025 Dakhil candidates at Fayezia Razzakia Islamia Dakhil Madrasa in Brahmanpara.
Speaking to journalists after the event, he remarked, “A major shift is underway in the country. For over 15 years, people have endured an authoritarian rule that has left them mentally traumatised. Are we acknowledging these realities?”
He further emphasized the rise in criminal activities, stating, “We recognize that law and order have deteriorated, and incidents of muggings have increased significantly. The attack in Banashree on Sunday night was shocking. However, there is a growing tendency to politicize every issue—blaming one side or the other, instead of addressing the root causes.”
Hasnat urged all stakeholders to focus on identifying and prosecuting criminals rather than using these incidents for political gains. He stressed the need for a non-partisan approach to ensure justice and restore public trust in governance.
