A student-community ‍exchange meeting scheduled‌ to take⁣ place in Mymensingh on Friday, September 13, has ‍been postponed due to opposition from⁣ local coordinators ‌of the student anti-discrimination movement.

The event was initially planned to ​be‌ held at ⁢the city’s ⁤Circuit ​House ground at 3 pm, with central coordinators from ⁢Dhaka in attendance. However, a dispute arose between​ local⁤ coordinators⁣ and those from Dhaka, leading to the postponement.

Another coordinator,⁢ Ali Hossain, echoed similar sentiments, stating that the Dhaka coordinators⁣ had prepared to hold an exchange meeting without consulting ‌local coordinators. He emphasized that the Mymensingh students were not ‍involved in the arrangement.

Jahangir Alam, a coordinator of the student anti-discrimination movement​ from Dhaka, confirmed that the exchange meeting had​ been postponed due to ​the ongoing situation. He claimed that the work ‍was being ‍done ‍in collaboration with ‍Mymensingh coordinators, despite the controversy.
