BCL to enforce indefinite strike at HSTU today
Bangladesh Chhatra league (BCL) unit of Hajee Danesh Science and Technology University (HSTU) will enforce an indefinite strike at the university from today demanding removal of the vice chancellor (VC).
Earlier, the BCL yesterday enforced a 4-hour long strike protesting postponement of examination and demanding removal of a director of accounts department.
The agitating students also demanded an end to employees' political links with Jamaat and BNP.
At a protest rally held on the campus, the BCL leaders demanded immediate removal of Fahima Khanam, director of HSTU accounts department, for allegedly misappropriating Tk 70 lakh.
Fahima Khanam, however, outrightly refuted the charges against her.
The leaders at the rally alleged that university authorities appointed people from Jamaat-e-Islami and BNP which politicized the university activities.
They blamed vice chancellor Professor Afzal Hossain for his failure to check corruption in the university and demanded his removal within 24 hours. Otherwise, the BCL would enforce an indefinite strike from today, they said.
