RU unit Chhatra League President Mizanur Rahman Rana, at a press conference at 12:30pm, vowed to resist Shibir activists on the campus.
He alleged that RU unit Shibir President Ashraful Alam and General Secretary Saifuddin Eyahia had been threatening them which proves that Shibir activists were responsible for the brutal attack.
He also demanded immediate arrest of the attackers and urged the authorities and police administration to take strict actions.
Among others Khaled Hossain Nayan and Amanullah Sarker, assistant secretary of central BCL, Mehedi Hasan, vice president of BCL, Shahanur Shakil, joint secretary of BCL addressed the programme.
However, the student wing of ruling party canceled their scheduled demonstration programme on the campus as the university authorities imposed a restriction on political activities in the university premises.
On Thursday night a group of Shibir men hacked Chhatra League General Secretary Tawhid-al-Hossain Tuhin and Social Affairs Secretary Shawan Sarker.
The attackers severed the tendons of Tuhin’s legs and right hand. He was undergoing treatment and fighting for his life in the Dhaka Pangu Hospital. Shawan was bullet-hit and was undergoing treatment at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital.
