Doctors Association of Bangladesh (DAB) yesterday demanded withdrawal of Wednesday's suspension order sent to 38 doctors of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU). At a press conference at the National Press Club, the doctors also demanded judicial probe into all recruitment, promotion and procurement irregularities that took place since the inception of the university. They also demanded removal of the vice chancellor of BSMMU. Terming the probe committee report by Prof Nazrul Islam politically motivated, fabricated and incomplete, they said the report identified some recruitment and promotion irregularities in BSMMU during 2001-2006. But the committee were supposed to find out all irregularities that took place from 2001-08, they observed. Though the Shahjahan committee, which was later formed by the syndicate, pointed out the flaws of the Nazrul committee's report, it was overlooked in the reports of the next committees, they added. Prof Mobin Khan, Prof Abdul Bayes Bhuiyan, Prof M Abdul Mannan, former BMA president Prof AKM Azizul Haque, DAB secretary general Prof Zahid Hossain were present.
