SHARIF M SHAFIQUE

Arifullah, the vice president (VP) candidate of the Islami Chhatra Shibir-backed Samannito Shikkharthi Jote panel in the Jucsu polls, has pledged to resolve session jams and build a student-friendly campus, if elected.

The Jahangirnagar University Central Students’ Union election is scheduled for September 11.

He also expressed a strong stance on holding Jucsu elections regularly.

In an interview with The Daily Star, Arifullah, a student of the Pharmacy Department, said, “Our first pledge is that Jucsu elections must be held every year. We will try our best to ensure that Jucsu is implemented annually.”

Speaking about problems faced by students, he said, “Many departments are suffering from severe session jams. For example, in Pharmacy, it takes seven years to complete a five-year honours degree. Around 10–11 departments face the same issue.”
