Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid has said the government would take action against those involved with the attacks on students of Rajshahi University.
The minister made the statement while talking to journalists at his office on Monday afternoon.
Nahid also asked the authorities concerned to take legal action against the perpetrators of the attacks.
Asked about the involvement of Chhatra League activists in the attacks, he said: “Action would be taken against those who would be proven guilty in the investigation.”
A 5-member probe committee, headed by Professor Khalekuzzaman, has been formed and asked to submit a report “as soon as possible” over the incident.
On Sunday, police and cadres of Bangladesh Chhatra League attacked the students of Rajshahi University during demonstrations. Scores of students were injured and 20 were shot.
In the evening, policy makers sat in an emergency meeting and shut the institution down for an indefinite period of time, asking students to break by 8am Monday.
