A fresh deadlock is likely to be created at Chittagong University (CU) after Eid vacation as ruling BNP's student wing JCD starts agitation for resignation of Vice Chancellor AJM Nuruddin Chowdhury for "appointing an alleged Shibir cadre" as teacher in Department of Political Science.The teachers have also threatened of indefinite work abstention after February 19 as the university authorities "ignored their demands". Meanwhile, the left leaning student body, Progressive Students Alliance (PSA), has also declared an indefinite strike after Eid if fees charged from graduates for verification of certificate is not withdrawn. The CU Syndicate finalised appointment of Enayet Ullah Patwary in the political science department on Thursday. Sources claimed that Enayet Ullah Patwary is a "Shibir cadre and an accused in a case in connection with a murder on the campus". Moreover, he did not obtain First Class in honours and masters, the sources claimed. "We will launch an indefinite siege on the campus after the Eid as the authorities are appointing Shibir cadres in different departments", JCD General Secretary MR Milton Chowdhury said. The Chittagong University Teachers Association (CUTA) will observe work abstention for two hours on February 17 and for a full day on February 19 to press their demands, which include election of graduates to the Senate, different bodies and of the Dean of Social Science. "We will enforce a non-stop work abstain after February 19 and the authorities will be responsible if the first year admission test scheduled to begin on February 24 is hampered by that", CUTA General Secretary Helal Uddin Nizami said.
