On Saturday, Riazul Islam, president of DU’s Sir AF Rahman Hall unit of BCL, checked the mobile phones of five people suspecting them as JCD men at the Nilkhet intersection and beat them before handing them over to police. Riazul also submitted his nomination application for DU BCL unit.

Some leaders and activists of the hall units took position at different points, as instructed by the immediate past general secretary of the DU unit Saddam Hussain. He is also an aspirant for the top positions in central BCL.

Another post seeker Tanbir Hasan Shaikat organised a photo exhibition, titled “The Politics of Killing People in arson terrorism by BNP-Jamaat” opposite to a human chain of pro-BNP teachers which was held at the base of Aparajeyo Bangla. “We remained active on the campus after getting instructions from the prime minister to remain vigilant to resist BNP,” said Shaikat.

However, no JCD activists tried to enter the DU campus area on the rally day.

“If we fail to flaunt our activities in such situations, it will create a negative image,” said a vice-president of the BCL central unit and a post-seeker.

Contacted, DU Proctor Prof AKM Golam Rabbani said, “The continuation of a congenial atmosphere is all that we want. We are always welcoming towards students of the university”.
