Bangladesh Nationalist Party-backed teachers and employees of Rajshahi University on Sunday protested against the verdict that sentenced their chairperson Khaleda Zia to five years’ imprisonment and her eldest son Tarique Rahman and four others for 10 years in a graft case.
They also demanded immediate unconditional release of the party chairperson Khaleda Zia.
Over two hundred teachers and employees of the university under the banner of Nationalist Teacher’s Forum formed a human chain in front of the university senate building to press home their demands. Addressing the human chain, the speakers said that the verdict of the false case was just a reflection of the ruling government’s political vengeance.
Nationalist Teacher’s Forum’s vice president Professor Habibur Rahman said that the ruling ministers, MPs and the ruling party leaders had been telling over the last two years that Khaleda will have to go to jail.
“It appears to us that the verdict was written many times ago. The judge only read out it-he has just legalized it”, he added.
Forum’s acting convener Professor Enamul Hauqe said that if the government planned to hold election keeping BNP outside of the polls tactically, they- the people of the country would foil it.
They teachers also vowed to continue their programmes until the government release their chairperson Khaleda Zia.
They also announced to hold a human chain tomorrow at 10:30 at the university paris road. Among others, Forum’s president KBM Mahbubur Rahman, general secretary Professor Mamunur Rashid, former general secretaries Professor Fazlul Hauqe and Professor Amzad Hossain, sectarian member Professor Md Shahidullah, Professor Shamsul Alam Sarkar, Professor Hasnat Ali, and staff representative Shahidullah Babu spoke at the human chain.
