BCL, the student wing of main opposition Awami League (AL), has also failed to form its Dhaka University (DU) unit committee due to intra-party feud, said a number of BCL leaders and activists while talking to The Daily Star.

Many BCL leaders feared that violence may take place at any time on the campus over the formation of the committee.

On Thursday last, a group of BCL leaders and activists led by Meherul Hasan Sohel, Mizanur Rahman and Gaffari Russel slammed its newly elected President Mahmud Hasan Ripon and General Secretary Mahfuzul Haider Chowdhury Roton on the campus.

They went rough with the president and the general secretary while asking about the committee at Modhu's Canteen as they went there to hold demonstration demanding release of its three leaders who were arrested earlier this week.

"The president and the general secretary are mum months after months though we have been repeatedly asking them about the selection of the members of the committee," said Sohel, president of the former committee of Salimullah Muslim Hall unit of BCL.

"We told them just say 'no room for you', we will disappear, but the fun is that they say neither 'yes' nor 'no'. They just keep us hanging on intentionally," he added.

Others alleged that some influential leaders of the last BCL central committee and their incumbent counterparts Ripon and Roton have been sending letters either taking handsome amount of money or considering their loyalty.

AL President Sheikh Hasina in a sudden move brought radical changes in the student wing of the party in April this year by introducing polling system through transparent ballot box and fixing the age limit up to 29 years with regular studentship.

The president and the general secretary of the new BCL committee were elected on April 4 and the AL high-ups instructed the newly elected and the immediate past leaders on the next day to form the full-fledged central committee within 15 days.

But being failed to announce the full-fledged committee, the BCL leaders in an unusual and unprecedented move about two months ago began to form the committee by selecting members through "secret letters" and it has so far selected only 151 members out of total 251-member central committee, sources said.

Country's oldest and traditional student body, which generally forms its committees through open conferences, has opted for forming the committee through "secret letters" this time due to unwanted interference by some influential leaders of the previous committee, the sources added.

What happened on Thursday was unwanted, Ripon told The Daily Star, adding that those who were involved in the incident were not loyal to organisation.

"There is no question of any irregularity or corruption," he claimed.

Meanwhile, BCL yesterday expelled its three leaders Mizan, Sohel and Poniruzzaman Ponir.
