Ban Chhatra Mukti activities on DU campus
Bangladesh Chhatra Moitri (BCM), a left-leaning student organisation, demanded immediate ban on the activities of Chhatra Mukti, student front of outlawed Hizb ut-Tahrir, on the Dhaka University (DU) campus.
Terming Hizb ut-Tahrir a fundamentalist Muslim group, BCM leaders also demanded punitive steps against the teachers who are involved in the organisation.
The leaders placed the demands at a press conference at Madhu's Canteen yesterday.
Taking shelter from the previous BNP-Jamaat-backed four party alliance regime, the Islamic militant organisation became active in the country, they added.
The leaders alleged that the main coordinator of the wing Mahiuddin Ahmed, an IBA teacher at DU, was directly involved in recruiting students to Chhatra Mukti.
BCM DU unit President Tanvir Rusmot said, “Mahiuddin was recruiting students by offering them money and other financial facilities.”
Identifying DU campus as a progressive one, they further said Chhatra Mukti should be declared unwanted on the campus.
They alleged that despite repeated demands of imposing ban on Chhatra Mukti by different left-leaning student wings, DU authorities are yet to take any effective steps.
BCM leaders said students would resist the activities of the organisation if the DU administration does not take any immediate steps soon to declare it unwanted on the campus.
They also threatened that the authorities would claim responsible for any kind of untoward incident on the campus in this connection.
To press home their demands, BCM will launch an awareness campaign against the activities of the organisation today and tomorrow.
They will stage a demonstration and submit a memorandum to Vice Chancellor Prof SMA Faiz on September 23.
