DU Correspondent
Some 51 pro-Awami League (AL) teachers of Dhaka University (DU) in a statement yesterday expressed concern and disappointment with the government's decision not to allow AL President Sheikh Hasina to visit the landslide victims in Chittagong and to visit her daughter in the USA, who is going to be mother soon.At least 106 people were killed in a landslide in the port city on June 11. The caretaker government on June 14 imposed restrictions on Hasina's leaving Dhaka, which was scheduled for next day, for USA for "the sake of investigation" into the graft cases filed against her. "We feel that she should have been allowed to visit the places considering humanitarian ground," the teachers said in a joint statement. "We urge the government to allow her to stay by the side of her pregnant daughter considering minimum citizen and human rights," the statement reads. The signatories, among others, included Prof Md Hossain Monsur, Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique, Prof Dr Harun-Or-Rashid, Prof Md Rafiqul Islam and Prof Anwar Hossain.
