No sign of an end to DU stalemate
DU Correspondent
There is no sign of an end to current stalemate at Dhaka University as the teachers continued their class boycott yesterday. The Duta (Dhaka University Teachers Association) has been boycotting the classes since February 28 demanding immediate arrest and punishment of the culprits responsible for the deadly machete attack on Prof Humayun Azad, and sending him abroad for treatment. Duta General Secretary Dr. Mohammad Akhtaruzzaman has told The Daily Star that normalcy would return to the campus as soon as the government meets their demands. A general meeting of the Duta has been called on March 17 or 18 to discuss about their new programmes. Meanwhile, 25 DU senate members in a statement urged Duta to resume classes and bring back normalcy on the campus. Meanwhile, different student organisations continued their demonstration on the campus yesterday to press home their demands. Awami League backed Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) brought out a procession and held a rally on the campus demanding immediate implementation of its 11-point demand. Meanwhile, the BCL has withdrawn its indefinite strike call at DU.
