SYLHET, June 18: The Pro-government teachers at Shahjalal University of Science & Technology (SUST) Wednesday staged demonstration and held a rally to press for the immediate resignation of its Vice-Chancellor alleging his massive corruption, nepotism and misconduct with the teachers and staff.
The agitation was organised after the teachers came to know that the VC Professor Md. Aminul Haque Bhuiyan would be back to the campus on June 24, after a 2-month leave.
In the face of teachers' agitation the VC was compelled to take 2-month leave from April 23 on the plea of family matters. The teachers then suspended their agitation considering his possible resignation.
Joint convener of the teachers' forum Mostabur Rahman in his address said the VC on 22 April had promised to resign during the 2-month leave. But, he has breached it and was now preparing to join office. "We wouldn't let him do that", he added.
Faruqe Uddin alleged the VC had failed to make any development in the last two years. Besides, there had been huge allegations of corruption against the VC, he added.
Head of the Chemistry Department Dr. Mohammad Younus alleged the VC had appointed his brother-in-law as the guest house in charge.
The teachers would stage sit-in in front of the VC's office on June 21 and his residence would be gheraoed on June 23.
However, the VC declined to make any comment and said he would join his office on June 24, after the leave.
