Medical admission protesters to hold solidarity rally

Protesting medical admission seekers will hold a solidarity rally in the city’s Shahbagh tomorrow afternoon to press home their demands of cancellation of September 19 test results and the retake of the MBBS, BDS entry tests.

Auyatullah Hasnath, convener of the movement, made the announcement in a press briefing on the TSC premises of Dhaka University yesterday afternoon.

“We have demonstrated for the last 33 days demanding the retake of the entry tests as the questions papers were leaked but since the authority concerned did not show any positive response, we vowed to hold a solidarity at Shahbagh once again,” Auyatullah said.

He said the they had a discussion with Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA) on Tuesday night and the association have agreed to extend their support if the allegations of question paper leakage is proved.

“The BMA said they will stand beside us if we can provide evidence of the question leak to them. But we told them that we will only provide our evidence if they form a committee with our representative to investigate the matter,” he added.
