The judicial inquiry commission will submit its final report on August 20-22 student unrest at Dhaka University proposing ban on politics by teachers and students serving as adjuncts to political parties.
Commission chief former justice Habibur Rahman Khan will present the report to the chief adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed. The report containing 30 recommendations was prepared after taking evidence from some 110 witnesses, commission sources said.
The major recommendations include ban on holding meeting and procession on the campus; holding elections to DUCSU and hall unions; amendments to the 1973 University Ordinance and the university proctorial laws; and developing relations between universities and army camps.
However, the report will not recommend the release of the detained teachers and students of DU.
When contacted, commission chief Khan told the FE that the commission had recommended ban on politics at universities by teachers and students servile to political parties as sycophantic politics of teachers and students was the key reason behind the August 20-22 student violence.
