'Blue panel' alleges PUST VC's partial role
Awami League-backed Blue Panel teachers at Pabna University of Science and Technology (PUST) said Vice Chancellor Dr Rustom Ali is influencing the candidates and general teachers for supporting their rival panel in the university teachers' association election to be held today.
They came up with the allegation at a press conference at Pabna Press Club in the town yesterday.
President aspirant of the Blue Panel Hasibur Rahman alleged that the VC himself called many candidates and the general teachers for supporting the candidates against their panel.
The VC is forcing them to support the panel according to his choice, he said.
Secretary aspirant of the Blue Panel Dr Md Fazlul Haque and incumbent president of the association Awal Kabir Joy, among others, spoke at the conference.
“We are very worried about the partial role of the vice chancellor over holding peaceful election,” said Fazlul Haque.
Refuting the allegation false and baseless, the VC said nobody can prove that he forced anybody about the election.
No teacher came to him brining any such allegation till now, he said.
Meanwhile, an official press release issued by the public relation department of PUST said the university has already got the allotment of Tk 480 crore for development work in the university. The VC has taken initiative to ensure peaceful environment for education. So they are trying to tarnish the image of the VC.
