BU students’ demo continues for 3rd day seeking VC’s removal

Barishal University students continued their movement for the third consecutive day on Wednesday, May 7, to press home their one-point demand that Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Suchitra Sharmin be removed.

The students staged sit-in and protest programmes in front of the university’s administrative building around 12:30pm to realise their demand.  

They chanted slogans against the VC and sang protest songs there. 

The students alleged that the VC has failed to meet their earlier 22-point demand, ignored calls for financial aid for a student’s family who reportedly died due to lack of treatment, favoured cohorts of fascist on the campus, filed cases against students and allowed corruption in development projects.

Calling Dr Sharmin the ‘worst VC in the university’s history,’ students said their movement would continue until she is removed from office.

The protesters warned that if their demands are not met, they would lock the VC’s residence, cut its electricity supply and block road communication between the capital and the southern region of the country.

Students Sujoy Shuvo, Azmain Shuvo, and Shahidul Islam Shahed, among others, addressed the protest programme.
