Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (Ducsu) Vice-President Abu Shadik Kayem on Monday said the home, law and foreign affairs advisers must resign if the organisation’s three demands are not met and there is no visible improvement in the law and order situation.
He made the remarks around 3:30pm after a meeting with the home adviser near the Shikkha Bhaban intersection.
According to Kayem, Home Adviser Lieutenant General (retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser Md Khuda Baksh Chowdhury and other senior officials present at the meeting assured Ducsu that the demands would be implemented promptly.
The three demands include the arrest of all those directly involved in the shooting of Sharif Osman Hadi, including planners and accomplices; launching area-based operations against the Awami League within the next 48 hours to recover all illegal weapons; and bringing Sheikh Hasina back to the country to execute the verdict against her for crimes against humanity.
Earlier, Ducsu leaders and activists staged a sit-in at the Shikkha Bhaban intersection from around 1:30pm as part of their program to lay siege to the home adviser’s office, after breaking through police barricades at Doel Chattar and the High Court intersection.
