Medical college admission seekers yesterday announced a countrywide student strike tomorrow demanding fresh exams.
Progotisheel Chhatra Jote and Samrajjobad Birodhi Chhatra Oikya yesterday brought out a procession from Dhaka University’s (DU) Modhur Canteen in support of the demands.
Over a hundred protesters congregated at the rally.
“We will continue. Several organistions have already thrown their weight behind our movement,” said a protester.
“A memo has been handed over to the Prime Minister’s Office requesting to retake exams of medical colleges. We are waiting for the PM’s decision,” said Imran Habib Rumon, central committee member of Shamajtantrik Chhatro Front.
The protesters said the actual exam was identical to one of the leaked question papers.
They demanded the previous exam results be annulled and fresh exams be taken.
