Chhatra League's guest room practice

The guest room practice was a ragging system or tradition in the residential halls of Bangladeshi universities carried out by Chhatra League, the student wing of Awami League, where seniors teach juniors the norms and etiquette of movement on campus and in the halls for political purposes. However, during this practice, students have often been reportedly subjected to physical and mental abuse. General students and local newspapers have described this culture as "torture cells" of Chhatra League.

Chhatra League tortured students at various times in order to occupy university dormitories and maintain dominance in campuses across the country. Chhatra League established guest room culture in universities like Dhaka University (DU), Rajshahi University (RU), Chittagong University (CU), Jahangirnagar University (JU), Islamic University (IU) etc. Due to torture by Chhatra League and Jubo League, many had left university dormitories.

The main centers of Chhatra League's guest room culture were various residential halls of Dhaka University. Chhatra League created this guest rooms to keep control of university halls and to turn general students into party activists. However, Chhatra League leaders denied these allegations, saying that they only exchanged general views with everyone in the guest room and no one was forcibly taken there.
