PSA withdraws siege at CU

The PSA, a conglomeration of three left-leaning student organisations, had been enforcing the action programme since June 26 in protest against the attack on its activists by the cadres of Islami Chhatra Shibir.

But at the request of the CU authorities, the PSA postponed their siege programme for one week from August 1.

In a meeting yesterday, Vice-Chancellor Prof. AJM Nuruddin Chowdhury assured the PSA of taking stern action against those involved in the attack.

However, the PSA leaders also warned that they will launch a fresh action programme if the VC does not take any action immediately, meeting sources said.

They also demanded withdrawal of increased admission fee.

President of Samajtantrik Chhatra Front Monjurul Islam Monju, President of Bangladesh Chhatra Union Ripayan Barua, Proctor Mujibur Rahman and assistant proctors were present at the meeting.

On June 25, Shibir cadres attacked the PSA activists at the station ground, leaving 15 injured.
