The Shahjalal University of Science of Technology (Sust) students brought out a procession on the campus Wednesday, as their demand for the incumbent vice-chancellor’s (VC) resignation is yet to be met.
Demanding the immediate removal of VC Farid Uddin Ahmed, the students marched the campus with placards and photographs of police actions on the protesters on January 16.
Jahedul Islam, one of the protesting students, said: “We broke hunger strike after getting the assurance from the top level of the government that our demand would be met. But after 14 days, we have not seen any progress.”
“The spectre of two cases still hangs over the students. Most of our mobile banking accounts that were blocked have not been activated yet.”
“Our one-point demand has not been met. We will hold a protest rally on Thursday,” Jahedul added.
The problems of Sust students in Sylhet would be solved soon, said Education Minister Dipu Moni on January 26.
However, the minister also said the resignation of the VC is a different issue. “If one VC leaves, another one will come. The solution to students’ problems does not depend on whether a VC stays or not. So the problems need to be solved.”
