CU Pro-Vice Chancellor claims in tears: ‘Chhatra League wearing helmets hacked students’

CU Correspondent

Chittagong University’s Pro Vice-Chancellor (Administration) Professor Dr. Kamal Uddin has claimed that Chhatra League cadres wearing helmets beat up young students.

He said, “We have spoken to the Home Affairs Advisor, we have spoken to the Chief Advisor’s office, but no one is on our side yet.”

He said these words while breaking down in tears after receiving no help to control the situation during the clashes between the students and the locals. When a video of the incident went viral on social media, netizens both laughed and criticized it.

In the video, the Vice Chancellor was saying, “I am comparatively well. My students are the most injured. We are not getting any help from the Army-BGB till now. They are beating the students with sticks. What kind of world are we in? Rescue our students. Our proctor, pro-VC are injured, almost all the teachers and students are injured. We are not able to provide space in the medical center.”

Crying, he added, “I apologize with folded hands. Students, calm down, local residents, calm down. We have been at this university for so many years, we had a good relationship with this village. This incident happened due to the instigation of another evil group. No one should play into this game.”

Addressing the students, he said that this incident will be investigated.

Allegations that two CU Shibir workers were hacked and thrown from the roof

The Chhatra League has been accused of hacking and throwing several activists of the secret organization Chhatra Shibir from the roof.

It is learnt that at least two Shibir activists were hacked to the roof of the building and thrown from there. One of the two students thrown from the roof of the building is named Rajiur Rahman Raju. He is a second-year student, but the name of the department is not known. The name and identity of the other is not known yet.

No student can say who did such a thing. Although Shibir activists point to Chhatra League, it is not clear, because no one associated with Chhatra League has been on campus for the past year. Many have been arrested and handed over to the police. Many are serving prison sentences, all have been expelled. Therefore, some believe that ordinary students may have a hand in such an incident.
