He said that some workers of our friendly Chhatra Dal have also become victims of this conspiracy. But we want to make it clear that our unity cannot be destroyed by spreading such baseless news. We are committed to protecting national unity and will resist all conspiracies.

Islami Chhatra Shibir Chattogram Metropolitan North Branch informed that the organization will continue to fight against all kinds of conspiracies and false propaganda in the future as in the past. The leaders of the Shibir urged the countrymen not to be misled by such false propaganda and to be aware of the real stand of the organization.
