Message of Unity in DUCSU Elections: Mahin Sarkar Supports Abu Bakar

PNN News Desk | Dhaka:

In the Dhaka University Central Student Union (DUCSU) elections, Mahin Sarkar, General Secretary (GS) candidate of the Coordinated Student Union panel, has announced his support for Abu Bakar Majumder, GS candidate of the Anti-Discrimination Student Union panel.

This Friday, at a press conference held in front of Madhur Canteen at the university, Mahin Sarkar officially raised Abu Bakar Majumder’s hand and extended his support. He also urged the students present to cast their votes for Abu Bakar.

Mahin Sarkar said, “To sustain the power of the people's uprising and move forward in unity, I am standing by Abu Bakar Majumder. His victory is my victory.” He further requested students to support Abu Bakar, even though his name remains on the ballot due to the inability to withdraw his candidacy.

Meanwhile, Abu Bakar Majumder described Mahin Sarkar’s support as a significant message of unity for pro–people’s uprising students. He said, “The role Mahin Sarkar has played during the challenging times of the movement has secured a place in history. Today, we will continue this journey together.”

Politically, it is known that Mahin Sarkar was expelled from the National Citizens Party (NCP) for fielding a separate panel in the DUCSU elections without party approval. He later formed a separate panel called the Coordinated Student Union. However, through today’s announcement, he has clearly declared his support for Abu Bakar Majumder.
