NCP doesn't want any political bodies in halls: Abdul Kader

Abdul Kader, convener of Bangladesh Democratic Student Council (BDSC), student organisation of newly-formed NCP, does not want any political parties to have organisational structures (committees) in the halls, reports BSS.
In response to a query of a journalist, Abdul Kader said, "BDSC does not conduct any hall-based activities like other student organisations. We do not want any organisational structures, led by political student organisations in the halls. It is opposite to the spirit of July Mass Uprising,"
Following the announcement of DU JCD committee, he made the remarks while speaking at a press conference at the Dhaka University's Madhur Canteen on Friday afternoon.
In the press conference they pressed strong warning against the re-emergence of coercive political practices in the university's residential halls.
Speaking at the press conference, Abdul Kader said student uprising had created a turning point in campus politics, with students from various halls vowing never to allow autocratic control of student politics again.
On the July 17th last year, formal agreements had been signed between students and hall administrations affirming that political organisations would no longer be allowed to operate in the halls, he added.
Kader also expressed concern over activism of other student parties in the campus area.
"We categorically oppose any political move that undermines students' fundamental rights and renders hall administrations ineffective. In the past, such politics has compromised both the right to education and accommodation," he added.
BDSC called upon all student organisations to acknowledge the sentiments and concerns of the broader student community and work toward a consensus-based model for campus politics that ensures mutual respect and coexistence.
