Torch procession by Ganatantrik Chhatra Jot at DU demanding justice for attacks on students, VC's resignation, and withdrawal of orders against female students at CU

Ganatantrik Chhatra Jot held a torch procession demanding justice for the attacks on KU students, withdrawal of cases and expulsion orders against protesting students, resignation of the VC, and cancellation of the expulsion of female students at Chittagong University. On Friday evening, the procession started from the TSC of Dhaka University, passed through the VC Chattar, and ended at the Raju Sculpture.

Participants in the procession chanted slogans— 'Why was there an attack at KU, administration must answer', 'Barrack army, go back to the barracks', 'Why was there an attack in Cumilla, administration must answer', 'Expulsion at CU, must be withdrawn', 'Cases at KU, must be withdrawn', and others. After the procession, speakers at a brief rally in front of the Raju Sculpture said that a culture of repression is being established in educational institutions with the direct or indirect patronage of the government.

Meghmallar Basu, president of the Dhaka University branch of Bangladesh Students' Union, said, "Due to depoliticization and greed for power, student politics has today deviated from its core ideology." Salman Siddiqui, president of Samajtantrik Chhatra Front, alleged, "Female students at CU have been expulled with malicious intent. Cyberbullying and administrative pressure are being applied to remove them from the movement."

Sayedul Haque Nishan, president of Ganatantrik Chhatra Council, said, "Those who protested the incident of the attack at KU are being suppressed by filing false cases, while the attackers remain unpunished." Jabir Ahmed Jubel, general secretary of Biplobi Chhatra Moitri, said, "The members of the proctorial body of CU have increased violence by making provocative statements, and those who were against the violence are the ones who have been expelled.

From the rally, demands were made for the resignation of the KU VC, withdrawal of cases and expulsion orders filed against the students, and reinstatement of the expelled female students of Chittagong University.
