, Sept. 13 -- Islami Chhatra Shibir has tightened its grip on Bangladesh's student politics, storming to a resounding victory in the Jahangirnagar University Central Student Union (JUCSU) elections.

Riding high on its earlier victory of Dhaka University's DUCSU polls, the Shibir-backed 'Coordinated Student Alliance' clinched 20 out of 25 central council seats, leaving rival groups trailing far behind.

Zitu grabbed the VP post with 3324 votes. He is the convener of JU's Gonoovvutthan Rokkha Andolon and a 47th batch student of the Institute of Comparative Literature and Culture.
