The 'deprived' leaders of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) have suspended their sit-in protest over alleged attacks on them and left the Raju Sculpture area on Dhaka University campus after a meeting with the senior leaders of the Awami League, reports bdnews24.com.
The agitated BCL leaders pulled out of the protests at around 1.00 pm on Monday following a meeting with four senior Awami League leaders.
AL's Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Abdur Rahman, Mozammel Haque and Bahauddin Nasim, Sechchha Sebak League General Secretary Molla Abu Kawsar, Chhatra League President Rezwanul Haque Chowdhury Shovon and General Secretary Golam Rabbani joined the meeting.
President of Ruqayyah Hall unit of BCL Lipi Akhter, President of Bangladesh-Kuwait Friendship Hall unit of BCL Farida Parveen and General Secretary Shraboni Shaila, President of Shamsunnahar Hall unit of BCL Nipu Tonni, General Secretary of Jasimuddin Hall unit of BCL Shahed Khan, Deputy Cultural Affairs Secretary Tilottoma Shikdar, Campaign Secretary of the defunct committee of BCL Saif Babu and Social Welfare Secretary Rana Hamid represented the protesters.
The authority assured them of meeting the demand, protest leaders said.
The AL leaders have promised to find ways for them to meet Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The posts in the new BCL committee occupied by the 'controversial' members will be declared vacant after an investigation and will be filled by 'eligible' candidates, the senior leaders said at the meeting. Also, they pledged to investigate clashes in Madhu's Canteen and the alleged attacks at TSC on Saturday night.
BCL, the student wing of the ruling AL, announced its 301-member central committee on May 13, a year after its conference was held.
The agitation began following the announcement.
