Sexual assault: BCL’s mysterious silence (Video)

In the wake of mass outrage against sexual assault on women during Pahela Baishakh celebrations on Dhaka University campus, the ruling Awami League’s student wing Bangladesh Chhatra League keeps itself aloof from any protest.

Issuing just a press release one day after the incidents took place, leaders and activists of the organisation were found nowhere in the streets. They were seen busy in election campaign for ruling AL-endorsed candidates for the city corporation election.   

Though some of the female leaders scheduled to form a human chain, they mysteriously cancelled the protest in directions from its high-ups.
