Wait 5 sec.

Student wing of Bangladesh's Jamaat-e-Islami swept Dhaka University elections. This victory may embolden Jamaat-e-Islami ahead of national elections. Islami Chattra Shibir candidates won 23 of 28 posts. The student wing of Awami League did not contest. Experts highlighted Jamaat-e-Islami's role during the Liberation War. Concerns are raised about Bangladesh's political trajectory and India's relations with its neighbor.
