BCL sits with VC today to end DU deadlock

Staff Correspondent
The Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), which is enforcing an indefinite strike at Dhaka University, sits for a dialogue with the vicechancellor today to resolve the ongoing campus crisis.
"If the Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) does not interfere, the BCL may call off the strike after the meeting," said a BCL leader, wishing to remain unnamed.
Vice-chancellor (VC) SMA Faiz said the BCL's demand for dialogue has been fulfilled and it would be held at his office at 1:00pm.
Student front of the main opposition Awami League, the BCL enforced the strike from Saturday protesting attacks on its leaders and activists on Dhaka University campus by JCD men on July 31.
"As the university authorities have met the preconditions for a dialogue, we have decided to assemble at Madhu's Canteen and then sit with the university authorities to discuss our demands," BCL President Liakat Sikder told a press conference yesterday held at the organisation's office in the city.
"If the authorities fulfil our demands, we will think about withdrawing the strike considering the interest of general students," Sikder added.
Leaders of ruling BNP's student wing, JCD that drove out BCL supporters and activists from the campus on July 31 and did not allow

them to stage a comeback since then, are reported to have agreed to accept the presence of their rivals on the campus. The leaders changed their stance after intervention by the BNP high-ups, sources said.
"Dhaka University campus is open to all," said JCD General Secretary Azizul Bari Helal, "but we will not tolerate any disturbance on the campus by any party."
The VC met with the prime minister Tuesday to inform her of the latest campus situation.
At yesterday's press conference, the BCL leaders reiterated their demands that include action against the JCD men who attacked the BCL supporters, compensation to the injured BCL activists, rehabilitation of its activists to the residential halls and bringing back congenial atmosphere to the campus.
The VC visited the residential halls last night and said the atmosphere in the halls was congenial for peaceful co-existence of all students, irrespective of their political hue.
Meanwhile, on the fifth day of the strike, no untoward incident was reported as no BCL activists were present on the campus.
The JCD brought out a procession that ended in a rally on the campus. Hundreds of JCD leaders and workers from different residential halls and city colleges joined the rally.
