Leaders of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) Chittagong University (CU) unit yesterday demanded withdrawal of expulsion order against three of its activists. They told reporters that the BCL men did not manhandle the proctors and the student affairs advisor on Tuesday and alleged that their banner was taken away forcibly. They claimed that they had verbal permission for the procession from the university authorities and added that there was no outsider in their procession. Earlier, the BCL men brought out a procession at noon protesting the expulsion order and chanted slogans against the authorities on the platform of the CU railway station. The CU authorities in an urgent meeting on Tuesday expelled three BCL activists and declared two others persona non grata for bringing out procession defying university rules, manhandling teachers and damaging video camera the same day on the university campus.
