JU students march for congenial atmosphere
Jahangirnagar University (JU) students teamed as 'Santrasher Biruddhe Jahangirnagar' yesterday brought out a protest procession on campus to press for their four-point demand including immediate polls to the JU Central Students' Union.
The other demands are taking proper steps to free JU dormitories from criminal activities and ensuring security of students, immediate trial of murderers of Zubair Ahmed, an English department student who died in a factional clash of Bangladesh Chhatra League on the campus on January 9 this year, and punishment of the culprits who attacked cultural activists during agitation against irregularities of the university's former vice-chancellor Prof Shariff Enamul Kabir on April 28.
Starting from Amar Equshey premises, the procession ended at the Shaheed Minar followed by a rally.
Later, the students handed over a memorandum to Vice-Chancellor Prof Anwar Hossain.
Speakers at the rally said tougher movements would be called if their demands were not met.
Sowmit Chanda Joydip, president of Bangladesh Student Union JU unit, Md Fiaz Sharif vice-president of JU Sangskritik Jote, Samjir Ahmed of Bangla Forum and Atia Ferdausi, addressed the rally among others.
Meanwhile, JU authority on Monday formed a new committee to investigate the attack on the cultural activists, as the probe body formed during the former VC's tenure showed no progress.
Archaeology Department's Prof Sufi Mustafizur Rahman will lead the three-member team.
