Earlier, the students decided to submit separate memorandum to Jahangirnagar University Teachers' Association (JUTA), and Teachers' Association of Jahangirnagar University (TAJU) urging them to keep the examinations out of the purview of the current movement and solve other problems.

But they changed the decision after observing the necessity of the movement to restore a stable situation on the campus.

The JUTA, at a press conference on October 28, explained the necessity of ongoing teachers' movement.

Leaders of Bangladesh Chhatra Front (BCF) and Bangladesh Chhatra Federation (BCF) in separate statements yesterday demanded of the authorities to take immediate measures to end the current deadlock.

They also urged the students to be united to resist, what they said, the autocratic activities of the authorities.

Meanwhile, the VC, two Pro-VCs and the treasurer yesterday called on the JUTA to take classes and conduct examinations to reduce session jam, says a press release.

All classes and examinations remained unofficially withheld till yesterday the 16 consecutive day due to indefinite strike called by the JUTA to press for their two-point demand including the removal of VC.

The other demand is punishment to the Jatiyatabadi Chhara Dal (JCD) activists who had kept confined the authorities of Shaheed Salam Barkat (SSB) Hall on August 11.

About 70 percent of the students have already left the campus in the face of the teachers' movement.
