UNB, Dhaka :
Ain O Salish Kendra (ASK), a rights body, has urged the government to investigate theattacks on the quota reformists by Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists and to release Rashed Khan, joint convener of Bangladesh General Students’ Rights Protection Council, immediately.
It made the demand in a statement issued on Sunday.
The statement signed by ASK Executive Director Sheepa Hafiza said, “On Saturday morning, at least 10 leaders of the central committee of the council were injured in an attack by some BCL men on the DU campus. Police arrested Rashed in a case filed by a BCL leader which is very regrettable.”
It also criticised the silence of the Dhaka University (DU) administration over the attack and its failure to control it. Terming the BCL attack on students ‘unacceptable’, the rights body asked the government to identify the attackers immediately and mete out exemplary punishment to them.
