PUST students continue protest
Demand scrapping of show-cause notice to teachers
Students of Pabna University of Science and Technology (PUST) continued protesting for the second consecutive day yesterday over show-cause notice to three teachers for “raising voice against corruption and irregularities by the authorities.”
Agitated students placed 12-point demand to the university authorities seeking proper investigation into the viral audio clip where allegedly a job seeker demands his bribe money be returned.
Angry students besieged the PUST administrative building yesterday morning and locked the main gate of the university. They demanded that an investigation committee be formed over the incident.
“There are many problems in the university. We want proper investigation in connection with the audio clip that has been circulating,” said Mahamud Chowdhury Asif, president of PUST unit BCL.
However, vice chancellor of PUST told journalists that he did not take any bribe and this is nothing but a conspiracy.
Asked about the students’ protest, the VC said the university authorities will take necessary steps to fulfill the logical demands.
