Like the central committee, Sylhet and the city unit Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) yesterday denied its organisational involvement in the clash erupted at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) campus on Thursday.
In a press conference at the Sylhet zila parishad hall in the evening, BCL city unit President Rahat Tarafder said: “The university authorities are responsible for the untoward incident that left one BCL activist hacked dead as it failed to ensure security and congenial atmosphere on the campus.”
As a result the university was closed for indefinite time and the authorities could not deny their responsibility, he went on.
Later, they demanded prohibition of outsiders on the campus and to re-open the university as early as possible.
Law enforcers should take punitive measures against those who were involved in the clash of expelled BCL leaders and outsiders, Rahat also stated. He expressed deep shock at the demise Sylhet International University unit BCL worker Sumon Das.
Earlier on Friday, BCL President HM Bodiuzzaman Shohag claimed that no member of the student body was involved in the SUST clash.
BCL Sylhet unit President Shahriar Alam Samad, Secretary Rayhan Choudhury and city unit Secretary Emrul Hasan were present among others there.
