DU, JU students protest attack on Ducsu VP Nur
A section of Dhaka University students formed a human chain on the campus yesterday, protesting the repeated attacks on Ducsu Vice President Nurul Haque Nur.
Under the banner of “General Students of Dhaka University”, around 100 students took part in the programme, where they also demanded that the authorities provide necessary security to Nur.
“The attacks on Ducsu VP prove that no one is safe. If the attackers are not brought to book, they would be more aggressive and carry out such attack again and again,” said Nusrat Tabassum, a third-year student of Linguistics department.
Hasanul Banna, a master’s student, said, “It is known to all that BCL activists are involved with the attacks. I request the prime minister to provide proper security to him [Nur] and bring the attackers to book.”
Meanwhile, quota reformists of Jahangirnagar University (JU) also protested the recent attack on the Ducsu VP in Patuakhali.
The leaders and activists of “Bangladesh Sadharan Chhatra Odhikar Sangrakkhan Parishad” formed a human chain in front of JU Shaheed Minar around 11:30am.
At the human chain, Abu Sayeed, co-coordinator of the organisation, said, “Nur has been repeatedly attacked by those belonging to the ruling party, but the attackers are being sheltered.”
On August 14, Nur was attacked allegedly by BCL and Jubo League activists in Patuakhali’s Galachipa upazila while he was travelling to Dashmina upazila town to meet his sister. On the way around 1:30pm, the group forced him into a shop and beat him up.
Nur alleged that Galachipa upazila Chairman Shahin Shah led the attack on the directives of Patuakhali-3 lawmaker SM Shahjada Shaju.
When asked, both of them denied the allegation.
