Ducsu VP urges AL to rein in BCL
Ducsu Vice-President Nurul Haque Nur yesterday urged the Awami League government to keep a tight rein on Chhatra League’s “desperate activities” in order to avert “collapse of the government”.
“The mass awakening against the misrule and oppression cannot be supressed by Chhatra League,” Nur said while addressing a protest rally held at the base of Raju Memorial Sculpture.
Santrash Birodhi Chhatra Oikya, an alliance comprising 12 student organisations of the campus, organised the rally to press home their four-point demand.
The demanded expulsion of those who were involved in the torture of four students at Sergeant Zahurul Haq Hall and the attack on the Ducsu VP on December 22 last year.
Their other demands include resignation of the proctor for his failure to protect the students, allotting seats to the students from first year, and ousting outsiders and non-students from the dormitories to ensure a safe and democratic campus.
Referring to the incident of Zahurul Haq Hall, Nur said the students did not commit any offense.
“Chhatra League leaders claimed the students were members of Shibir, but after talking to them, we came to know that they were beaten for not attending various political programmes of Chhatra League in the past,” Nur said.
After the rally, the alliance members brought out a procession on the campus.
Meanwhile, Mukim Chowdhury, one of the four students who were tortuned, continued his sit-in yesterday demanding justice.
“I was beaten brutally after being falsely accused. I will not move from this place until I get justice,” Mukim told The Daily Star.
Around 50 students of the tourism and hospitality management department, of which Mukim is a student, formed a human chain at the base of Raju Memorial Sculpture demanding justice for their classmate.
Chhatra League activists of Sergeant Zahurul Haq Hall tortured Mukim Chowdhury and three other students for nearly three hours before handing them to police early Tuesday.
The three others are Sanwar Hossain of political science department, Minhaz Uddin of Islamic History, and Afsar Uddin of Arabic.
