DU Correspondent :
A section of Dhaka University (DU) students on Sunday protested against ‘illegal enrolment’ of 34 former and incumbent BCL leaders into Masters of Tax Management (MTM) Department under business faculty without any admission test and viva voce.
The protestors also demanded resignation of eight Dhaka University Central Student Union (DUCSU) leaders who illegally got admitted to the university and took part in the election.
They came up with the demands from a protest rally at the base of Anti-Terrorism
Raju Memorial Sculpture near TSC on basis of a media report. It unveiled that all those leaders got enrolled into the university ahead of the DUCSU election. Eight of them were elected in the DUCSU and hall unions.
Addressing the rally, Hasan Al Mamun, Convener of Bangladesh General Students’ Rights Protection Council (BGSRPC), said, “Enrolment in DU required an admission test. But before the DUCSU polls, the VC along with the concerned Dean Shibli Rubayat Ul Islam gave the benefit to a particular student body leaders without holding any admission test.”
“What they have done is clearly a moral degradation. We are demanding their resignation as well as re-election to the posts where the Chhatra League leaders were elected,” Mamun added.
Allegation surfaced that DUCSU leaders Saad bin Kader, liberation war affairs secretary; Shakil Ahmed Tanvir , sports secretary; Arif Ibne Ali, science and technology affairs secretary; and members Nazrul Islam, Rakibul Hasan, Nipu Islam Tonni, and Mahmudul Hasan and 26 other Chhatra League leaders were admitted to Masters in Tax Management under Banking and Insurance Department without any admission test with recommendation of the VC and Business Faculty dean.
After the announcement of the DUCSU and Hall Union polls schedule on February 11 this year, those former and current leaders of the ruling party’s student body enrolled under MTM to carry on their studentship while the admission test held on November 30, 2018, the media report said.
The two-year programme, jointly with the National Board of Revenue, was launched in the mid 2017.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh Chhatra Union condemned the role of VC and the concerned Dean and demanded their exemplary punishment if found guilty.
Progressive Students’ Alliance, the ally of left leaning student bodies, brought out a torch-lit procession yesterday to dissolve ‘illegal DUCSU.’
DUCSU election which held after 28 years on March 11, ended in boycott by all major panels except the BCL over allegations of irregularities and vote rigging.
Most participating panels held protests even before the voting ended and demanded re-elections.
