RU Correspondent
Rajshahi University (RU) teachers yesterday protested Wednesday's police attack on leaders and activists of Progatisheel Chhatra Jote (PCJ) of the university and demanded immediate withdrawal of police personnel from the campus. The teachers under the banner “Swadhin Shikkhak Network”, a newly launched non-political teachers' forum of the university, made their demand at the forum's inaugural ceremony at Rabindra Arts Building. On Wednesday, police, along with Bangladesh Chhatra League activists, attacked a procession of Progatisheel Chhatra Jote, which left seven members of the organisation injured. Associate Professor Selim Reza Newton, among others, spoke at the programme.
