On October 28, 2025, the President of Islami Chhatra Shibir, the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami in Bangladesh, strongly criticized the Awami League, stating that the party "has never practiced politics; they have established a reign of murder." This reflects long-standing allegations from Shibir and its allied groups accusing the Awami League government of authoritarianism, political repression, and extrajudicial killings. Such criticism is common amidst the deep political polarization in Bangladesh, where Shibir accuses the ruling Awami League of suppressing dissent, engaging in politically motivated violence, and establishing a regime marked by murder rather than genuine democratic politics.
