Students of Dhaka University (DU) have burned effigies in protest against 'defamatory and false remarks' made by a Jamaat-e-Islami leader targeting the university and its female students, reports UNB.
The protesters burned effigies of Barguna District Jamaat-e-Islami Assistant Secretary General Md Shamim Ahsan at the foot of the Raju Memorial Sculpture around 7:00pm on Monday.
The jamaat leader made the comments during an election rally on Saturday night, where he described the Dhaka University Central Students' Union (DUCSU) as a 'drug den and brothel'.
