The remarks, dripping with patriarchal contempt and moral policing, have sparked nationwide outrage, forcing the party to distance itself in a desperate bid to salvage its tattered image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Md. Shamim Ahsan, Assistant Secretary of Barguna district Jamaat-e-Islami, made the derogatory comments during an election rally in Patharghata on Saturday while campaigning for Jamaat candidate Sultan Ahmed in the Barguna-2 constituency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He declared:\u00a0“We are seeing that after the DUCSU election, the DUCSU, which used to be a den of drugs and a brothel, has been transformed by Islami Chhatra Shibir. Therefore, Jamaat-e-Islami is capable of eradicating all forms of injustice, extortion, and corruption from Bangladesh.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It laid bare the Islamist alliance’s longstanding obsession with controlling women’s bodies, freedoms, and spaces\u2014hallmarks of their extremist ideology that views educated women and co-educational environments as threats to their puritanical vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whom should the US choose in Bangladesh: Jamaat, BNP, or Awami League?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jamaat\u2019s Shadow Empire: Diplomatic charms abroad, authoritarian grip at home<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jamaat\u2019s hollow distancing from Shibir threats against media, cultural institutions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In response to the backlash, Jamaat’s Barguna district unit Amir, Maulana Mohibullah Harun, issued a notification <\/a>on Monday suspending Shamim Ahsan from all organisational responsibilities and placing his membership (rukon) on hold. The notice stated that the comments had “hurt the sentiments of current and former DU students and various classes of people across the country,” damaged the party’s image, and contradicted its “principles and ideals.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maulana Harun confirmed to the media that Ahsan’s language was “incompatible with Jamaat-e-Islami’s policies and ideals.” Yet the suspension rings hollow: it is a damage-control tactic, not a rejection of the underlying anti-women ideology that permeates Jamaat-Shibir’s worldview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Pattern Of Misogyny And Moral Policing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This incident is no isolated slip. Jamaat and Shibir have a long, sordid history of moral policing on campuses and in society\u2014harassing female students, enforcing dress codes, disrupting cultural events, and labelling progressive spaces as “immoral” or “Western-influenced.” Their rhetoric routinely reduces women to objects of shame, portraying co-education, student activism, and women’s participation in public life as gateways to “vice” and “degeneration.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dictator Jamaat-Shibir\u2019s double face revealed<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n What we know about Shehreen Amin Bhuiyan Monami so far<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n How Shibir, Hizb ut-Tahrir holding control on Dhaka University politics<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n By calling DUCSU a “brothel,” Shamim Ahsan did not merely insult an institution\u2014he insulted generations of women students who have fought for education, equality, and dignity against precisely this kind of patriarchal bigotry. The remark reflects the deep-seated misogyny of an ideology that sees women’s autonomy as a moral threat to be suppressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Public Fury And Legal Repercussions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n DU authorities condemned the statement, with the campus witnessing protests and demands for accountability. Social media erupted with outrage from alumni and students, many pointing out that such slurs are part of Jamaat-Shibir’s playbook to discredit secular, progressive spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sheikh Hasina slams Yunus for holding farcical polls, repression on party members<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
