BCL to form committees at all private universities

Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) announced forming committee’s at all private universities as part of its greater goal to fight militancy in the country.

Speaking at an ‘emergency meeting’ on creating awareness against militancy in the capital on Friday, BCL President Saifur Rahman Sohag claimed that militancy is growing in the campuses where there are no activities of the BCL.

State Minister for Textiles and Jute Mirza Azam and former BCL leaders welcomed the announcement, arguing that a section of students get involved in militant activities in the absence of progressive political activities in private universities.

The programme was organised by the BCL central committee at Bangladesh University of Textiles auditorium.

Former BCL president HM Badiuzzaman Sohag, Dhaka University’s IBA Associate Professor Rezaul Karim, Independent University of Bangladesh Lecturer Mehedi Mansur, East West University Lecturer Mamun Al Rashid and BCL General Secretary SM Jakir Hossain, among others, spoke on the occasion.
