A section of Chittagong University teachers Friday termed as biased' the recently published Judicial probe body report on the university situa Uon and demanded its imme
Twenty-five teachers who claimed representing the 'general teacher of the university expressed their reaction to the report at a press conference at the National Press dub
They urged the government to restore academic atmo-> sphere tn educational institutions including the Chittagong University through "appropriate steps".
The one-man judicial probe body headed by Justice Mahmuda Amin Chowdhury suggested appointment of a neutral person as VC and repeal of the Chittagong University Act 1973 to restore normalcy on the campus.
Amongst the 25 teachers present there. Prof Hasanuzzaman read out a detailed statement on the probe body report, the CU situation, and the alleged role of some pro-Jamaat teachers and students in instigating violence there.
Prof Hasanuzzaman said they rejected the inquiry commission report since it was "biased, contrary to the university autonomy, and derogatory to the teachers' dignity "
Explaining. he said, the report was 'partial' in identifying the terrorists responsible for the December 22. 1991 violence on the campus, overlooked Islam! Chhatra Shibir activists criminal activities and tried to identify that the teachers' grouping for and against the Vice-Chancellor was the fundamental reason for the unrest on the campus.
Prof Zaman further said that the report proposed to snatch the teachers recognised right to participate in national poll-
tics and attempted to make the Vice-Chancellor guilty without any specific proof based on investigation.
He said, it recommended introduction of a 'code of conduct' for the CU teachers like the government servants which was contrary to their right to free thinking.
The report also blamed the teachers for creating mastans'. terrorists and criminals and made disgraceful remarks. Prof Hasanuzzaman alleged.
The Inquiry commission also revealed its partisan character terming the VC's speech on the December 22 incidents as unbearable' and controversial'. he viewed. The VC's speech on that day was laudable, he said.
Prof Zaman also painted a gloomy picture of the CU situation and alleged that it was due to terrorist Acts by the Shibir workers and support of a section of the Jamaat-backed teachers.
Prof Zaman said the report mentioned a "reign of terror created by the Shibir activists" after the 1990 Chittagong University Central Students Union elections but did not recommend punishment for them.
Asked whether their demand for restoration of normalcy on the campus contradicted rejection of the Judicial probe body report, one of them. Prof Anupam Sen said the commission was not Judicial but quasi-Judicial.
. Those present at the press conference Included Prof Abdul Mannan. Dr Fasiul Alam. Prof Hamida Banu. Dr Manjur Morshed Mahmud and Prof Anwarul Azim.
