“Several incidents have taken place after this proctor took office. But he failed to act in any of the incidents,” said Zakaria Hossain, a leader of the platform. “How many incidents will have to happen? What will it take for you to admit failure?”

Another speaker, Ety Jahan held Chhatra League responsible for assaulting students throughout the campus and condemned the proctor’s inaction in this regard.
