However, on April 17, 2019, Chhatra Dal withdrew his expulsion order and reinstated Sagar in the organization.

In this regard, Amirul Islam Sagar told the media, 'I have not been involved in anything since leaving student politics in 2019. I believe in the nationalist politics of Ziaur Rahman's ideology. My father was also a founding leader of Chhatra Dal. I joined the NCP as an attempt to go beyond the traditional lines and do nationalist politics.'

It is worth mentioning that on May 13,

Dhaka University's F Rahman Hall Chhatra Dal's Literature and Publications Secretary Samya was stabbed to death by a miscreant near the open stage of Suhrawardy Udyan.
