The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), on Sunday, accused radical Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami of attempting to establish "state within the state" through its actions in the country's political landscape and universities, media reported. We have always seen that their activities are creating a 'state within the state', and we are now observing such an environment," the BNP leader added. If there is a shortage of accommodation, beds or other facilities, it is the administration's duty to address it," the BNP leader said. It undermines the legal foundation of the state and goes against the proper functioning of the university. He lamented that media outlets fail to highlight the misdeeds of Jamaat leaders and activists, while allegations against the BNP are widely reported.
