Murders of Two CU Students
Punish real culprits, drop false charges against Prof Munir
Cuta tells journalists
Chittagong University Teachers Association (Cuta) leaders yesterday demanded withdrawal of 'false' charges against the former association president and punishment to those involved in murders of CU students Mohiuddin and Harun-or-Rashid.
They also threatened to go for tougher agitation programme if their demands not met immediately.
At a press conference held at Chittagong Press Club in the afternoon, the leader said former Cuta president Professor Dr ANM Munir Ahmad was implicated in Mohiuddin Masum murder case. Mohiuddin was killed near Sholoshahar Gate No. 2 on February 11 night.
Prof Munir, also senior teacher of CU political science department, alongwith Prof Rashida Khanom went to attend the namaj-e-janaza of Mohiuddin, a masters final year student of their department, at Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) on February 12 morning.
Since the janaja could not be held at CMCH due to a tense situation there because of the presence of leaders and activists of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Chhatra Shibir, Prof Munir left CMCH premise to offer Juma prayers at neighbouring Nasirabad Housing Society Mosque, said the Cuta leaders.
But, he was unfortunately made an accused in the case filed in connection with Jamaat-Shibir clash with police.
Later, CU VC Prof Dr Abu Yusuf certified that Prof Munir had no link with the Jamaat-Shibir men and requested Chittagong Metropolitan Police (CMP) Commissioner for dropping his name from the case, said the Cuta leaders.
Although police agreed to do that but his name still remains on the list of accused even after two months, they resented.
The Cuta leaders also demanded proper investigation into the murders of Mohiuddin Masum and Harun-or-Rashid.
