Shibir throws away Shaheed Minar wreaths


Islami Chhatra Sibir activists at Carmichael College threw away wreaths placed at the Shaheed Minar on the college campus as a mark of respect to martyrs of the Liberation war.

Eyewitnesses said, Shibir activists in a bid to stop placing odf wreaths 'occupied' the Shaheed Minar just at 10 pm Friday and held a rally there.

When activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal approached the Shaheed Minar at one minute past 12 am Saturday, Shibir

activists intercepted their processions. They were however allowed to place wreaths at the intervention of college principal.

As soon as BCL and JCD activists left the Shaheed Minar after placing wreaths, Shibir activists threw away those.

Carmichael College BCL president Biplob Bishwas and secretary Zashed-Bin Zummon, later in a statement condemned the 'heinous act by Shibir and called upon conscious students to resist them.

Campus sources said Shibir is strong on the campus and none dares to resist them.
