The
students of Islamic University (IU) blocked Kushtia-Khulna highway for
two hours for the second consecutive day on Monday demanding immediate
resumption of their academic activities.
Nearly 1,000
students brought out a procession on the campus around 10:00am and also
laid siege to the administrative building of the university for nearly
one hour and padlocked it, reports our Kushtia correspondent. Later, they paraded towards the highway in front of their university and barricaded it from 11:00am, disrupting vehicular movements between south and northern region of the country.
Earlier on Sunday, the students also barricaded the highway for one and a half hour over the same demand.
The agitating students have been demanding for a long seeking removal of their vice-chancellor, pro-vice chancellor and treasurer for their alleged involvement in irregularities in the recruitment of the teachers and officials.
The students withdrew the barricade at around 1:00pm after Sayed Belal Hossain, Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Kushtia, rushed to the spot and assured them of resolving the problem.
Later, the students handed over a memorandum to the DC seeking Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's intervention in resolving the stalemate of the university.
Meanwhile, around 200 teachers under the banner of Islamic University Teachers Association (IUTA) observed an hour long token hunger-strike to press home their demands, including, removal of the university VC, Pro-VC and treasure.
A deadlock has been prevailing at the university since September 8 after a syndicate meeting appointed 132 teachers and staffs including daughter of the vice-chancellor as a lecturer at the department of Applied Chemistry.
