Leader of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) yesterday urged student community to oppose 'hartals of main opposition Awami League (AL) and its allies in the greater interest of the country'.

"AL is trying to destroy the peaceful academic atmosphere and jeopardising the academic life of thousands of HSC examinees by calling hartals," JCD president Azizul Bari Helal told a rally here yesterday.

Dhaka University (DU) unit of JCD organised the rally to protest calling of hartal by AL the Aprajeyo Bangla.
