Students of the Barishal University, have boycotted classes and demanded that VC, Professor Dr. SM Imamul Huq, retract the vitriolic statement: children of Razakar which he said while addressing some students.
On Tuesday (Mar 26) afternoon, the university authority arranged a tea party and a cultural programme where students were not invited. When irate students protested, the VC lost his temper and called them children of collaborators.
On Wednesday (Mar 27), students did not go to class and carried out agitation in front of the administrative building.
The students are also demanding classes not be taken at TSC, reduction of the rent of the seminar room from Tk 3000 to Tk 500 and observance of all national says with students.
Proctor of the university, Subrata Kumar Das, said, “We talked to the students but are not sure why they are agitating.”
We are waiting for a letter from the students and will try to find a solution once we get it, he added.
