DU to hold talks with student bodies on Sunday
Dhaka University authorities were contacting all active students' organisations of the campus to attend a discussion regarding Dhaka University Central Students' Union (Ducsu) election.
They have issued a letter signed by DU Proctor Prof AKM Golam Rabbani in this regard addressing the presidents and general secretaries of the organisations.
The move came a day after a contempt of court petition was filed with the HC against the authorities for failure to comply with a directive over holding the polls.
The discussion will be held at the lounge beside the vice-chancellor office on September 16, reads the letter.
Only presidents and general secretaries of central and university units of the organisations were invited at the discussion.
The discussion will be held centring the execution of long due Ducsu and hall union polls.
“We have already started updating the voter lists in every dormitory of the university,” Prof Golam Rabbani said.
“We have sent letter to every active student body and would sit with them to discuss the overall situation of the election,” he added.
The move taken by the DU authorities was welcomed by Bangladesh Chhatra League DU unit.
“We hope that all student organisations will be unified in this regard,” Saddam Hussain, general secretary of BCL's DU unit said.
Akramul Haque, central general secretary of Chhatra Dal also welcomed the initiative and said political coexistence is needed to hold the elections.
On September 4, Advocate Manzill Murshid sent a legal notice to the DU authorities to take steps to hold the Ducsu election within seven days.
When the authorities did not take any step, on Wednesday the lawyer filed a contempt of court petition, as DU authorities' failure violated an HC rule that ordered holding the polls.
