BCL drives Shibir men out of Carmichael College

Our Correspondent, Rangpur
A Shibir cadre was stabbed while four others were injured by brickbat as the activists of Chhatra League (BCL) attacked the pro-Jamaat students yesterday and drove them out of Carmichael College. Of the injured, condition of Shibir activist Obaidur Rahman was reported to be critical. Eyewitnesses said, the BCL activists brought out a procession on the campus around 12:30 pm to greet the newly admitted students of undergraduate courses. As the BCL procession ended, Shibir leaders and activists gathered nearby to bring out a separate procession to welcome the freshmen. When the pro-Jamaat student front was about to start the procession, the BCL activists attacked them and drove them out of the campus. President of Carmichael College unit Shibir Al Amin Hasan claimed that BCL leaders and activists with the help of outsiders created a reign of terror on the campus. They attacked Shibir men without any provocation, he said. On the other hand, BCL convener Abdullah Khan Nannu alleged that Shibir brought hired cadres to the campus to foil BCL procession but the general students of the college drove them out of the campus. Principal of the college Abdul Wadud Bhuiya said a huge number of police have been deployed although the campus returned to normalcy.
