BCL threatens to block Dhaka-Aricha Highway
Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) will block Dhaka-Aricha Highway from 1:00pm today if the Jahangirnagr University (JU) lecturer, arrested by Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) on Friday, is not released within that time.
BCL leader Sheikh Shariful Khan Sharif declared the blockade at a protest rally participated by over 200 pro-Awami League teachers, officers, staffs and some students of JU in front of the administrative building yesterday.
The government and politics department lecturer Mohammad Firoz-Ul Hasan and 20 others were arrested by Rab in connection with selling fake question papers for the combined medical college and dental college admission test.
Earlier, they declared to form a human chain at the university's main gate at 10:00am today.
The participants, including JU Proctor Arzu Miah, criticised Rab and demanded an unconditional release. They also blamed the print and electronic media for exaggerating the incident and for insulting not only Firoz but all the teachers of the society.
