No Muslims can support Awami League, Nur said in his speech adding that only some extortionists, cheaters, drug traders, fortune seekers support AL, the statement added.
Earlier the ex-DUCSU VP also placed the badge of 'Fake Muslims' against supporters and leaders of Awami League, appearing on a Facebook live recently.
"They (Awami League) are not Muslims — they don't have any faith. Please inquire if any of them prays five times daily," Nur said.
"No Muslim can support Awami League. Those who support the Awami League are fake Muslims," he added.
"They take bribes, engage in extortion, drug trafficking and tender business and claim themselves as Muslims," the student leader said.
