College hostel.
In a statement issued yesterday, Muhith, a lawmaker from Sylhet-1 constit-uencv, termed the incident “shameful”.
"A group of terrorists are involved in different crimes in the area. They are doing all the misdeeds and managing political cover whenever needed,” the minister claimed adding that criminals had no political platform. “They take advantage of parties for every crime.”
He said the Awami League leaders in Sylhet demanded legal actions against those responsible for the incident. "I have also talked to the officials and asked them to lake measures under special lowers act against those who ed the incident, without considering political affiliation,” the minister said in the statement.
Condemning the heinous incident, Muhith said, “I am sad to see that the administration and the police killed
much time to stop the disorder.”
Muhith and Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid are scheduled to visit the college campus this afternoon.
Al least 20 people were injured as the activists of Awami League-backed students body Bangladesh Chhatra League and Jarnaat-e-Islami-backed Islami Chhatra Shibir clashed on the campus on Sunday afternoon. The BCL activists allegedly torched al least 42 rooms of the college hostel forcing the Shibir men out, eye-witnesses said.
The college was declared shut for an indefinite period on Monday.
A human chain was staged by aggrieved citizens in front of the college hostel yesterday afternoon to protest Sunday's incident. INVESTIGATIONS UNDERWAY
The five-member probe committee, formed by the district administration,
talked to about 20 persons sinceTuesday afternoon.
The probe committee members yesterday talked to injured student Ujjal Ahmed at Osmani Medical College Hospital, said Additional District Magistrate of Sylhet Md Shahidul Alam, chief of the committee.
Meanwhile, the other probe body, formed by the college authorities, started their work yesterday, said Vice-Principal Md Al-Helal Bhuiyan, head of the committee. They visited the hostel and talked to the staff there.
