Punishment to culprits demanded

JU Correspondent
Two separate processions were brought out on the campus of Jahangirnagar University (JU) yesterday demanding punishment to the Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) cadres involved in Thursday's attack injuring five students.

One silent procession was taken out by about one hundred general students of different departments from in front of old Arts Faculty building at 11:00am and ended in front of the administrative building. The processionists submitted a memorandum to the university authorities demanding treatment cost of the injured and ensuring safety of the students.

The other procession was brought out by Progotisheel Chhatra Jote chanting slogans against the 'controversial' role of the university authorities in taking actions against the JCD cadres.

The jote also submitted a similar memorandum to the authorities.

Meanwhile, all the teachers of the Department of Drama and Dramatics in a letter to Registrar Kazi Mohiuddin demanded punitive action against the culprits.

They also urged the authorities to ensure proper treatment of Rakibul Alam Rusho, convenor of Bangladesh Chhatra Union, now undergoing treatment at Health and Hope Clinic in Dhaka.
