They are scheduled to meet Hasina on Saturday (Mar 16) at 4pm, the press wing of the Prime Minister’s Office said.
The invitation comes as the university authorities were on Thursday (Mar 14) preparing for their inauguration ceremony for the student union leaders amid protests for fresh polls.
DUCSU vice president-elect Nurul Haque Nur, from the panel of students which led the quota reform movement, said that he would go to the Ganabhaban.
“All of us should go as the country’s prime minister have invited,” he told Bangla Tribune.
The other winner from his panel, DUCSU Social Service Secretary Akhtar Hossain, will accompany him at the Ganabhaban, Nur said.
DUCSU’s general secretary-elect Golam Rabbani, a leader of Awami League’s student front Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), said all the 23 winners from their panel in DUCSU and others in hall unions will meet the prime minister, reports bdnews24.com.
The university authorities, however, is yet to finalise a date for the inauguration for the students’ union leaders.
“We are preparing for the inauguration after discussions with the elected student leaders. We are not hurrying, but will organise it in the shortest possible time,” the online newspaper quoted Vice-Chancellor Md Akhteruzzaman saying on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, VP-elect Nur has vowed to continue protests against 'irregularities and rigging’ in the election.
He demanded fresh DUCSU polls by Mar 31 while leaders of panels who boycotted the Mar 11 election gave the authorities a three-day deadline to announce schedule of fresh polls.
The university has rejected their demand with the vice-chancellor saying he can’t “disrespect the tireless efforts by all” who worked for the polls, says the bdnews24.com report.
