Chittagong University Chatra Shakti Committee Suspended Amid Inactivity Concerns

The central committee of Jatiya Chatra Shakti has suspended its Chittagong University (CU) unit committee just three months after its official formation. An official press release issued late Tuesday night by the central office secretary Sardar Nadim Mahmud confirmed that the suspension, ordered by central president Abu Baker Majumder and general secretary Tahmeed Al Muddassir Chowdhury, will remain effective until further notice.

The 52-member full committee had been approved on July 27 this year, with Abdullah Al Mahathir appointed as president, Md. Ismail as general secretary, and Md. Ulfatur Rahman as organizing secretary. However, local activists expressed rising discontent over the lack of on-campus activities and Mahathir's prolonged absence. The issue peaked during an emergency meeting on Tuesday night between central leaders and unit members, leading to the decision.

Addressing the situation, suspended unit president Abdullah Al Mahathir explained that personal career plans and the completion of his master's degree prevented him from dedicating sufficient time to organizational duties. He stated he had already been considering stepping down to facilitate new leadership. General secretary Md. Ismail echoed that the suspension aims to pave the way for restructuring several vital positions.

Central general secretary Tahmeed Al Muddassir Chowdhury emphasized that the CU unit was failing to deliver expected results and perform dynamically. He confirmed that a new leadership committee would be constituted shortly through upcoming council procedures to re-energize the university branch.
