Classes held at Sust despite strike call
Classes were held as usual at Shahjalalal University of Science and Technology (Sust) yesterday despite the JCD's call for an indefinite strike on the campus.
Students and Sust Registrar Ishfaqul Hussain told this correspondent in the afternoon that classes were held as usual. Movement of Sust buses and other vehicles was also normal.
JCD called the strike after some of its activists were injured in an attack by the activists of ruling party backed BCL Sunday evening near the Sust central mosque. Sust BCL convener Mostafizur Rahman Raju led faction made the attack, the JCD alleged.
Campus sources informed that a group of BCL men went to the central mosque where the JCD men were attending a milad and doa mehfil marking the 39th death anniversary of late President Ziaur Rahman on Sunday afternoon.
However, the BCL men left the area after some teachers told them to leave the spot.
After sometime when the JCD men came out of the mosque, the BCL men, armed with sticks, iron rods and sharp weapons, attacked them all of a sudden at about 6:30 pm. Seven out of 10 who sustained injuries were taken to the MAG Osmani Medical College and Hospital.
However, BCL denied the allegations and claimed that they went to the mosque area to resist the outsiders brought there by the JCD men.
