We serve the AWAMI LEAGUE

The Bangladesh Chhatra League, formerly known as the East Pakistan Student League, often simply called the Chhatra League, is a students' political organisation in Bangladesh, founded by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on 4 January 1948. BCL is the student wing of the Bangladesh Awami League.

BCL has been repeatedly accused of using torture, extortion, violence, and killings to instill fear. At least 33 people were killed and 1,500 got seriously injured from attacks by BCL between 2009 and 2014. Number of fatalities rose to 129 between 2014 and 2018 while 31 people were killed in 2018 alone.[6] Following the attacks on student protesters in 2018, a petition was started by general people of Bangladesh to "Enlist Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) as a Terrorist Organization" at Change.org. In 2019, prominent English language daily of Bangladesh, Dhaka Tribune labelled the organization as "the brand of shame".
