Chhatra Dal declares DU VC-led administration ‘officially Jamaati’

Staff Correspondent

The Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) has declared the administration led by Vice-Chancellor Professor Niaz Ahmed Khan as ‘officially Jamaati’, alleging bias in the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) elections.

On Tuesday (September 9) at around 5:30 pm, Chhatra Dal leaders suddenly entered the Senate building during a meeting and made this announcement to Vice Chancellor Niaz.

At this time, Chhatra Dal leaders continued to question the Vice-Chancellor, claiming that the people gathered around the campus were ‘Jamaat-Shibir leaders and activists’.

Even though the Vice-Chancellor said that ‘measures have been taken’, the Chhatra Dal leadership did not agree to accept it.

At one point, Ganesh Chandra Roy, president of the university branch of the Chhatra Dal, dared to slam the table and call the vice-chancellor a ‘Jamaati administration’.

In response, the Vice Chancellor claimed that he does not belong to any party and has never been involved in politics.

At that time, Chhatra Dal central president Rakibul Islam Rakib told the vice-chancellor, ‘We have officially labeled you as the ‘Jamaati administration’ after today. We will not cooperate with you in any matter from today. If you do not take any action against this, we will not cooperate with you any more.’
