Vice-chancellor of Dhaka University Prof ASM Arefin Siddiqui said all the teachers, students and researchers of Department of Sociology in Rajshahi University should have positive thinking on how to end killing of child and other brutalities against them.
He mentioned that the incidents of child killing are taking place in the country frequently. ‘The researchers and students of the department should find out the reasons behind the killing’.
‘There is no alternative to bring all the persons involved in the killing and brutality to book and exemplary punishment to those. Besides, forging social resistance against the crime could be the effective means of freeing the society from the curse,’ Arefin Siddiqui added.
He was addressing the inaugural session of the two-day silver jubilee and third alumni function of Department of Sociology of RU at its Kazi Nazrul Islam auditorium on Thursday as the chief guest.
RU Vice-chancellor Prof Mijanuddin, Pro-VC Prof Chowdhury Sarwar Jahan and Dean of Social Science Faculty Prof Nilufar Sultana also spoke with Prof Wardatul Akmam, Chairman of the department, in the chair.
Chief Guest Prof Siddiqui said the higher education should be pro-people, life-oriented and always applicable. He said there should be measures of protecting the universities from any destructive politics and activities.
