A total of 1,111 doctors yesterday in a statement demanded withdrawal of suspension order sent to 47 teachers and administrative officials of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU). Prof Abdul Bayes Bhuiyan, gynecologist and former syndicate member of BSMMU, signed the document on behalf of the doctors. The doctors also sought immediate removal of vice-chancellor of the university to restore academic atmosphere. They termed the probe committee report by Prof Nazrul Islam politically motivated, fabricated and incomplete. The report identified recruitment and promotion irregularities in BSMMU during 2001-2008. The doctors also requested the president to form a judicial probe committee to investigate the corruption and irregularities within BSMMU administration since its inception.
