Dhaka University (DU) Vice-Chancellor Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique urged the students to be patriots to stamp out corruption and irregularity from the country.
"A patriotic citizen can never adopt corruption. So enkindle the sense of patriotism in you to get rid of the grasp of corruption," the DU VC said asking the university students to love the country much more.
"University is not only a seat of learning for attaining degrees. It is an institution for generating creative and broad-minded personalities. You the students, being enlightened with the acquired knowledge from the university, have to spread the light of knowledge everywhere," Prof Siddique said.
The DU VC made the observations while speaking as the chief guest at an orientation ceremony for the freshers of Computer Science and Engineering Department at the university's TSC auditorium Saturday.
