Staff Correspondent, Khulna
Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (Kuet) unit has threatened to go for movement if their five-point demands including resignation of Kuet vice chancellor are not met within seven days. Addressing a press conference at Khulna Press Club yesterday, the BCL leaders of the university also accused VC Prof Md Nausher Ali of harbouring vested groups loyal to BNP and Jamaat. The BCL demands include fair investigation into the incident of assaulting director of students' welfare of Kuet and exemplary punishment of those who were involved in it, withdrawal of suspension order against the president and secretary of Kuet BCL unit, opening of the institution and arrest of Chhatra Dal cadres and their exemplary punishment by conducting a fair probe into the Sunday night's incident on the campus. Kuet was closed for an indefinite period from Monday after a clash between Chhatra League and Chhatra Dal Sunday night over formation of a committee to celebrate Pahela Baishakh.
