Vet university students' ultimatum
Chhatra League (BCL) and General Students Forum at Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Science University (CVASU) jointly gave a 20-day ultimatum to the authorities to remove vice-chancellor Dr Nitish Chandra Debnath.
The BCL and Forum leaders were holding a press conference at Chittagong Press Club yesterday.
Terming the VC as a controversial, incompetent and loyal to 4-party alliance, they demanded his removal by August 15. Otherwise, they threatened to enforce an indefinite and tough agititation programme paralysing the campus from the next day.
At the press conference the leaders also announced holding of demonstration including procession and rally on the campus today. They will submit a memorandum to education minister on Thursday (July 29).
They said the education adviser during his visit to the university on April 10 assured the students of removing the VC. But, no step was taken in this regard even after three months which prompted them to go for fresh agitation programme.
Kamal Kanti Majumder, convener of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Chittagong General Students Forum, CVASU, read out the written statement at the press conference.
