Dr Kamal for removal of Buet VC
Eminent jurist Dr Kamal Hossain yesterday demanded that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina moves to remove the Buet vice chancellor immediately.
“People will not forgive you [Hasina] if you damage this institution [Buet]. Wherever you stay, people will find out and they will try you,” he told a discussion organised by Bikolpo Jubodhara, youth wing of Bikolpodhara Bangladesh (BDB), in the capital.
Kamal Hossain said he would demonstrate in front of the prime minister's residence to press home his one-point demand for the Buet VC's removal.
Former president Prof AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury, also president of BDB, and noted freedom fighter Kader Siddique supported Dr Kamal's demand and called for waging a tough and united movement against the government's "misdeeds".
They also termed "vulgar" the prime minister's remarks about Buet teachers and students' protest--collecting and pouring blood.
On Saturday, the prime minister commented that such a protest [a man collecting blood from a woman] was nothing but distasteful.
Classes have been suspended for about two months at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet) after the teachers and students launched a protest demanding removal of VC Prof Nazrul Islam and Pro-VC M Habibur Rahman.
Classes at Buet may resume on Saturday, as the pro-VC has already been removed.
