A group of students of Bogra Azizul Haque Collage under the banner of “Amra Muktijoddhar Santan” formed a human chain at Shatmatha in the town yesterday demanding removal of the college principal for his alleged involvement in admission and financial irregularities. They alleged that the college authorities did not maintain quota for the children of the freedom fighters during admission and filled up those seats by other admission seekers in exchange for money. They also brought charges against the authorities of misappropriating money from different heads including transport, sports, health and library. When contacted, Principal Prof Sultan Ali denied the allegations, saying that he had provided all facilities for the children of freedom fighters at the college. Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) college unit also staged demonstrations against the principal in and outside the campus recently. They also submitted a memorandum to the prime minister (PM) through the deputy commission demanding (DC) removal of the principal and probe into his alleged corruption. After that, the principal was transferred to Polashbari Government College in Gaibanda, but the ministry concerned cancelled the transfer order a few days ago.
