Demanding the long-pending Dhaka University Central Students' Union election, some campus-based musicians yesterday held a concert on the Memory Eternal premises of the university.

The event was organised by a group of DU students, expressing solidarity with Walid Ashraf, a student of the Institute of Social Welfare and Research, who has been on a hunger strike since November 25 afternoon demanding Ducsu polls within December 16.

Seven artists including Tuhin Kanti Das, president of Bangladesh Chhatra Union, DU unit, performed at least 30 songs of rebellion and patriotism, echoing solidarity.

Later, Mir Lokman, a mime artist and art director of Dhaka University Mime Action, along with four others arranged a mime show there. Through their performances, they criticised the authorities for not holding the Ducsu polls for the last 27 years.

The students also wrote “Ducsu De” on different streets and walls on the campus, despite the earlier ones being defaced by unknown miscreants.

Teachers and students continue visiting and expressing solidarity with Walid Ashraf, who is observing the strike on the Memory Eternal premises.

The last election to Ducsu was held on June 6, 1990.
