When DUCSU goes to polls ?

Dhaka University Central Students Union (DUCSU) has provided momentous contributions from the time of its establishment – in the Language Movement of 1952, the Education Movement of 1962, the mass rising of 1969, the Liberation War of 1971 and in the struggle against autocracy in 1990. These events stimulated the democratic process and created a participatory and democratic environment in student politics. It is a matter of sorrow that the DUCSU polls have been stopped for the past 26 years. The High Court has asked the authorities to explain this inactivity. We hope the concerned authority will provide a response as soon as possible, and hold a poll to ensure participation and democracy in student politics.
