Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) Rajshahi University unit yesterday demanded investigation into alleged corruption, nepotism and politicisation of administration by former vice-chancellor Prof Altaf Hossain, former pro-vice-chancellor Prof Mamnunul Keramat and former proctor Prof Enamul Haque . The demand came from a rally held in front of the Central library premises in the morning. It was addressed, among others, by BCL university unit general secretary Ayeen Uddin, assistant secretary Majedul Islam Apu, and BCL leaders Uzzal, Niaz, prince and Masud. The BCL leaders also demanded immediate removal of RU acting registrar and treasure for their alleged link with BNP and Jamaat and exemplary punishment to the proctor as he imposed restrictions on holding cultural programmes on the campus during the four-party alliance rule. BCL RU unit alleged that former VC and pro-VC appointed around 1000 BNP-Jamaat men as teachers, officers and employees violating the university rules and demanded removal of all political appointees. They urged the government to immediately appoint a full-fledged vice-chancellor for smooth functioning of the university. Earlier, the BCL took out a procession on the campus.
