DU classes resume today
Strike called off
DU Correspondent
The academic activities of Dhaka University (DU) resume today as the seven opposition-backed student organisations led by the Awami League's student wing Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) called off their indefinite strike at the university yesterday."We have postponed the strike getting assurance from the university authorities that they would realise our demands and considering the general students' future," said BCL General Secretary Nazrul Islam Babu. The DU authorities yesterday temporarily expelled Shamim Reza, a student of Sir AF Rahman Hall and an activist of ruling BNP's student wing Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), for his involvement in campus violence. Punitive measurers will also be taken against others responsible for the campus violence, DU Acting Proctor Siddiqur Rahman said. The student combine called the student strike to press home their five-point demands including expulsion, arrest and punishment of JCD activists for attacking students on the campus on May 29 and 31, and compensation for the injured students during the campus violence. Meanwhile, a number of BCL leaders and activists, who were driven out from residential halls in the wake of the campus violence, yesterday returned to halls with the help of the authorities.
