JCD attack on AL procession

An AL procession that entered the campus through Shahbagh intersection yesterday afternoon came under attack by the JCD.

Witnesses said a procession of Dhanmondi AL was going towards the TSC. When it came near the Central Library, JCD activists carrying bamboo sticks and iron rods exploded some six bombs near the TSC and chased the AL men who fled through Suhrawardi Uddyan.

At noon, JCD men took out a motorbike procession on the campus.

Later, the JCD held a rally at TSC where General Secretary Shafiul Bari Babu, Senior Vice-President Sultan Salauddin Tuku, Joyanto Kumar Kundu, Nurul Islam Nayan and Hasan Mamun spoke.

Against the backdrop of political unrest, some teachers think that the authorities might ask the students to vacate dormitories in a couple of days. However, university authorities ruled out such possibility.

When asked about JCD's violent activities on the campus, Proctor Prof AK Firoz Ahmed said he knew nothing about such incidents. If JCD activists are involved in such activities, action should be taken against them, he added.
