Pro-JSD Bangladesh Chhatra League
The biennial conference of pro-Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) Bangladesh Chattra League was held at the Arts Building premises of Dhaka University. In the programme held on Tuesday, Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu was present as the chief guest. While speaking Inu said that academia had to urgently take up the task of combating the threats of militancy, corruption and inequity. Recalling the glorious past of the organisation, he said, “The Chattra League (JSD) has a glorious history and I am sure they will go on to fight the battle against militancy, corruption and inequity with the same zeal. They will be victorious, one day, with red flag in hand.” Describing the university teachers as the beacon of society, he said, they have provided guidance whenever the country was in crisis-be it in politics, economics or society. He called upon them to refrain from partisanship and hunger for power. Inu, once again, reminded his audience that after the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the country had walked
backwards.The reactionary, pro-Pakistani forces want to make this country another Pakistan or Afghanistan, he said. The function was also addressed, among others, by the leaders of the organisation.
