Rajshahi Chhatra Sangram Parishad Tuesday called upon all progressive groups to unite and resist the anti-liberation forces of Jamaat-Shibir across the country.
The call for unity came at a rally organised on campus by Rajshahi University (RU) unit of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL).
Describing Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir an “arm” of international terrorist organisations, speakers demanded a ban on Jamaat-Shibir’s involvement in politics without delay.
The rally was held to protest against an attack last Thursday night on BCL General Secretary Touhid Al Hossain Tuhin by Shibir. They said Shibir activists have been trying to create panic on campus, but they would resist all such moves
The tendons of Tuhin’s right arm and legs were severed by the assailants. He is being treated at a hospital in the capital.
Attendants at the rally declared if Shibir activists used arms then they would retaliate in a similar fashion. They urged everyone to resist violence perpetrated by Jamaat-Shibir and demanded the immediate arrests and punishment of Tuhin’s attackers.
Chhatra Sangram Parishad announced they would form a human chain and embark on a movement from September 2 if their demands are not met by August 30.
Among those who spoke at the rally presided over by president of RU unit BCL Mizanur Rahaman were former mayor of Rajshahi AHM Khairuzzaman Liton, Bangladesh Workers’ Party MP Fazle Hossain Badsha, Shamsul Islam, AHM Badiuzzaman Shohag and Omar Sharif of BCL, Bangladesh Chhatra Moitree’s Bappa Ditto Bashu and Tanvir Rushtom, president of Bangladesh National Students’ Movement Monjur Rahman and from Bangladesh Students’ Association Abdul Jalil Shanta.
