Duta sees students' 'misconduct'

Forms human chain in protest

DU Correspondent
A section of Dhaka University (DU) teachers yesterday formed a human chain on the campus protesting what they said students' "misbehaviour" and "attack on university teachers" during January 23 demonstration.
Teachers of different departments took part in the human chain held under the banner of Dhaka University Teachers' Association (Duta) at the base of Aparajeyo Bangla.
Some teachers claimed that the media did not publish the news of "assaulting" the vice chancellor and other teachers and “vandalising university properties”.
They expressed grave concern over the January 23 incident where demonstrators besieged the VC office and kept him confined demanding punishment for Bangladesh Chhatra League activists over attacking them during their demonstration on January 15. Both of the agitation programmes were foiled by BCL activists.
Duta Treasurer Prof Momtaz Uddin alleged that the teachers were harassed by the protestors but the media did not publish it properly.
Duta President Maksud Kamal said, “Leaders and activists of different political parties participated in the demonstration. It was part of a conspiracy."
He alleged that a vested quarter is trying to destabilise the country ahead of the election by creating unrest on the campus. "... They want to remove the pro-liberation forces from power."
He said the VC and Science Faculty Dean Prof Abdul Aziz were assaulted during the incident but the media did not cover it fully.
Dean of Social Science faculty Prof Sadeka Halim condemned the attackers. She too claimed that the media did not publish objective reports.
Rokeya Hall Provost and Duta executive member Zinat Huda echoed her.
Muhammad Samad of Social Welfare and Research Institute said he did not expect such a violent attitude from the students.
Prof Chandra Nath Poddar, Prof Soumitra Shekhar, Prof Zia Rahman and Prof Hafizur Rahman also spoke.
On January 23, a group of students and some activists of left-leaning student organisations besieged the VC office with their four-point demand including expulsion of BCL men for harassing some female students a few daysago.
At least 50 demonstrators and two journalists were injured when the BCL
activists swooped on the gathering to "rescue" the VC, who was kept confined in front of his office by the protestors.
However, denying that they swooped on the agitators, BCL men claimed that the protestors launched an “attack" on them and "assaulted" the VC.
In a press release, the DU authorities also blamed the agitators for the episode saying the university teachers and officials rescued the VC before he was kept confined by “some violent students and outsiders".
