Claiming that the administration was negligent in terms of security, Surja Sen Hall unit Chhatra Dal's Literature and Publications Secretary Abidur Rahman Mishu said, "This administration is being negligent in security and in all other matters. They are still keeping classes and exams ongoing, which is a betrayal to Shammo's blood. The report that was supposed to come in three days—it's been eight days today, yet we haven't seen any resolution."  JCD activists block Shahbagh for 2hrs demanding Justice of Shammo  Biplobi Chhatra Moitri's organizing secretary Zahidul Islam said, "We thought the VC and the Proctor appointed after the uprising would be a source of trust for the students.
