Over 50 members have resigned from three Chattogram district committees of the Students Against Discrimination, declaring the committees unwanted.

They demanded the formation of new committees by 3pm today (18 February), threatening to block roads if their demands are not met.  

The announcement was made today during a press conference at the S Rahman Auditorium of Chattogram Press Club by a faction of the student movement leaders.

Last night, the central committee approved a 754-member convening committee for six months, covering Chattogram Metropolitan, North, and South areas of the district. The Chattogram Metropolitan committee consists of 315 members, the North district committee has 112 members, and the South district committee includes 327 members. The approval of these committees sparked controversy among students. 

During the press conference, coordinator Jubayer Manik said, "All three committees in Chattogram are a farce. They failed to recognise those who participated in the July uprising. The committees were formed with extortionists, harassers, and members of teenage gangs."

"Central committee member Rusel Ahmed was unaware of this. Another coordinator, Khan Talat Rafi, influenced the formation of these bogus committees by Convenor Hasnat Abdullah and Member Secretary Arif Sohel. We have declared these committees unwanted. Until they are dissolved, we declare Hasnat Abdullah, Arif Sohel, and Khan Talat Mahmud Rafi unwanted in Bir Chattola," he added.   

Another coordinator, Abdul Basir Nayem, presented three demands: the dissolution of the committees by 3pm today, the formation of inclusive committees through discussions within three days, and the public disclosure of investigation reports on all accused individuals before forming new committees.

If allegations are proven, organisational action should be taken, and the identities of those involved in forming these biased committees should be made public, followed by organisational action against them.  

He warned that the members would block roads if their demands were not met.  

Around 40 to 50 people attended the press conference.

The Students Against Discrimination in Chattogram is now divided into two factions — one led by coordinator Rusel Ahmed and the other by coordinator Khan Talat Mahmud Rafi.
