Rahmat Ullah relived from DU administrative activities

Dhaka University (DU) Teachers' Association President Professor Dr Md Rahmat Ullah has been relieved from all administrative activities.

The decision was taken in an urgent syndicate meeting of the university on Wednesday afternoon.

Several syndicate members who attended the meeting confirmed the matter to Jago News.

A probe body headed by Pro-Vice-Chancellor (education) Professor Maksud Kamal has been formed to look into the allegations brought against him.

The decision came following Prof Rahmat Ullah had paid tribute to Khondaker Mostaq Ahmad, one of the conspirators behind Bangabandhu's assassination, during a discussion organized on the occasion of Mujibnagar Day on April 17.

Later, he issued an apology, saying the matter was 'unintentional.'
