DU students stage demo against JCD’s putting up posters on campus

Some students of Dhaka University (DU) have burst into protest after Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), student wing of BNP, put up posters on the campus to mark the National Revolution and Solidarity Day, reports UNB.

Students from Bijoy Ekattor Hall first brought out a protest rally at 9:30 pm on Wednesday and it was later joined by students from Muktijoddha Ziaur Rahman Hall, Kobi Jasimuddin Hall, Haji Muhammad Mohsin Hall and other dormitories.

They marched across the campus protesting what they said JCD's political campaign in violation of a recent ban on student politics in the university.

During the protests, students chanted slogans such as 'Posters on walls, misfortune ahead," 'Student politics has no place here,' and '2024, no more student politics.'

The students stated that they would continue their protest until the university administration removed the posters put up by JCD from the walls of halls.

Protester Mir Muhammad Asif said, "Despite ban on student politics on the campus, Chhatra Dal has put up posters here. They are attempting to bring back student politics in the halls. We will continue our movement to prevent this."

Criticising the role of university administration, Mossaddik Ali, a co-coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, said, "The Syndicate has temporarily banned student politics. Most students do not support politics in the halls.
