It’s the Chhatra League leaders, not the university or the hall administration, who are running the show at the dorms of Islamic University.

Chhatra League leaders and activists are expecting that the organistion will have a new leadership that will be able to restore its past glory and work to realise Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s dream of building a “Smart Bangladesh”.

Hours after denying that he was confined to an Awami League office by former Chhatra League men on Saturday, AL General Secretary Obaidul Quader was besieged in front of the same office yesterday evening by the same people.

In the face of demonstration by a group of former Chhatra League leaders, the ruling Awami League yesterday put on hold its recently “announced” sub-committees.
