Showdown of Shibir men at DU halls

DU CORRESPONDENT
Although the activities of Islami Chhatra Shibir, student front of Jamaat-e-Islami, are forbidden on the Dhaka University (DU) campus, the organisation is active at Sergeant Zahurul Haq Hall allegedly taking shelter from the hall authorities and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) leaders.
Despite repeated request by the general students and BCL leaders and activists of the hall for taking action against Shibir men who run their activities at the hall, particularly in room No 3006, the authorities are yet to take any action against them.
Paribesh Parishad, an organisation comprising DU authority and student representations, imposed a ban on the overall activities of Shibir men.
Talking to The Daily Star, a number of students yesterday alleged that Shibir men have been continuing their activities at the hall compound under the noses of the hall authorities.
"Shibir leaders and activists of different hall units regularly conduct meetings in room No 3006. They mainly hold meetings at night two or three times in a month," said Mahbub, a resident of the room.
"I found membership forms of Chhatra Shibir once in the room," he said, adding, “A few documents of the organisational activities can be found in the room, if the authorities search the room."
The student informed that hall unit Shibir leader Jubayer on Tuesday night held a meeting in the room where Shibir men from SM Hall, Shahidullah Hall and some other halls of the university took part.
Eyewitnesses said a group of BCL activists assaulted three par-
ticipants of the meeting while they were leaving the hall compound after the meeting.
JCD leaders and activists allegedly provided shelter to Shibir men at the hall to be organised against BCL and staged a demonstration, Hall sources said.
However, DU unit General Secretary of JCD Saiful Islam Feroz denied the allegation but he admitted that a clash had occurred between BCL and Shibir men.
Meanwhile, hall unit BCL yesterday submitted a memorandum to DU Vice Chancellor Prof SMA Faiz demanding immediate removal of hall Provost Prof Zahidul Islam. They also took out a procession on the campus to press home theirdemands.
Shamsul Kabir Rahar, a BCL activist of the hall, alleged that the BNP-Jamaat-backed hall administration has been providing invisible shelter to Shibir leaders and activists at the hall to conduct their activities smoothly.
“We have repeatedly requested the hall authorities, including the concerned house tutors, to take action against identified Shibir activists who run their activities at the hall, but they di 8 hot pay any attention to the issue,” Rabat added.
Hall Provost Prof Zahidul Islam in the early hours of yesterday told reporters that they would not allow activities of Shibir men in the hall saying they are very conscious of the matter.
Asked whether some of the house tutors patronise Shibir men at the hall, Prof Islam denied it saying, "As the activities of Shibir are banned at DU, they cannot do it.”
He informed that they would form a probe committee to find out the facts of the allegations and incident occurred at the hall.
