BCL lays siege to DU VC's office
Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) yesterday laid siege to the Dhaka University (DU) Vice Chancellor (VC) office for an hour demanding release of detained BCL General Secretary Mahfujul Haider Chowdhury Rotan.
In support of their demands, BCL leaders and activists brought out a procession from Madhu's Canteen at around 12:00noon that marched different streets on the campus and ended holding a protest rally in front of VC office.
Some unruly BCL activists from the rally threw some brick pieces towards the VC office, which broke some window glasses of the office.
BCL leaders from the rally demanded immediate steps on behalf of DU authorities for the release of Rotan.
Later, a team of BCL met VC Prof SMA Faiz and urged him to take immediate steps to facilitate the release of Rotan.
BCL President Mahmud Hasan Ripon told The Daily Star that they would go for the movement demanding removal of VC if their demands are not met soon.
Among others, BCL acting General Secretary Syed Abul Kalam, DU unit President Sohel Rana Tipu were present during the meeting with the VC.
