Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) Tuesday demanded exemplary punishment to Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) cadres for assault on their men on the Dhaka University campus a day earlier.
The JCD leaders also demanded resignation of the DU vice-chancellor and proctor for their 'controversial role' during the incident.
They put forward demands at a rally at Shahbag area in the morning.
Sources said the JCD activists were trying to enter the campus at 11am but police obstructed them at Shahbag area where they held the rally as part of their scheduled countrywide protest programme against Monday's BCL attack.
The JCD leaders warned that the student wing of the main opposition BNP would launch strike for indefinite period on DU campus from July 1 if their demands were not met by that time.
Meanwhile, BCL held a rally at the foot of Aparajeyo Bangla in protest against BNP-called hartal on June 27 and also malpractices by JCD on campuses across the country.
BCL leaders said that BNP and its student wing JCD were trying to hinder the of the country attained by the present government.
But student community would foil their conspiracies, they said.
Meanwhile, the DU authorities formed a three-member probe committee headed by Assistant Proctor Prof Dr Amzad Ali to look into the Monday's incident.
The committee has been asked to submit its report within next three working days.
Two other members of the committee are: Associate Professor of Chemistry Department Dr Aftab Ali Sheikh and Associate Professor of IER Fazlur Rahman.
Prof Amzad Ali told the FE they have already started their work.
Earlier, the university authorities served show-cause notices to six students and BCL leaders and activists.
They are Siddiqui Nazmul Alam, BCL central joint secretary, Mamunur Rashid, BCL DU unit joint secretary, Noor Nabi Sohag of IER, Anisur Rahman Shimul of Political Science Department, Saifur Rahman of Arabic Department and Suhel Mirza of Philosophy.
They have to submit explanation within three days, sources said.
