Dr Zafar Iqbal quits Sust administrative posts

Eminent writer and professor of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (Sust), Dr Muhammad Zafar Iqbal, resigned from all three administrative posts amid a movement demanding resignation of Vice Chancellor Aminul Haque Bhuiyan.

He quit as head of the electrical and electronics department, director of Computer Centre and Institute of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and president of Sust's journal editorial council.

He sent a letter in this regard to the registrar on Thursday.

Earlier, on April 20, 35 teachers including Zafar Iqbal resigned from their administrative posts demanding the VC's removal but they withdrew their decision four days later when the VC went on a two-month leave.

 As the VC joined work on June 22 following the leave, the teachers resumed their protest.
