Two journalists and eight others were injured in outbreak of violence on the Dhaka University campus on Sunday.
Among the injured are DU correspondents Anu Anwar of the Prothom Alo and Zahedur Rahman Arman of the Dinkal. They were injured in separate attacks by the leaders and activists of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) and Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL).
The injured were given first aid at the DU Medical Centre.
Both the injured reporters are students of Mass Communication and Journalism Department.
A group of 12 to 15 JCD activists including Lelin and Sabuj attacked Anwar when he was reporting the news of JCD's armed-stand at the hall over his cell phone at around 1:45pm on Sunday.
BCL activists Mostak and Syed of Surya Sen Hall along with Jibon and Dolan of Jashim Uddin Hall beat up Arman with iron-rods when he was trying to save a female BCL leader from the attack of BCL rival group at noon.
Three of BCL factions were also critically injured during the chase and counter chase that ensued over gaining supremacy on the campus. The injured were identified as Shima Islam, Utpal Shaha and Sujan.
DU Journalists' Association (DUJA) demanded exemplary punishment action against the attackers including expulsion from the university. DUJA will also shun reporting positive news of the two student organisations protesting the atrocious attacks on its members.
Earlier, the BCL rival group allegedly exploded two bombs near the IER building of DU in the early hours of Sunday to prove their strong position on the campus creating much panic among students. They also vandalised several windowpanes of Zia Hall at that time.
In the backdrop of the DUJA's demand and vandalism of the student organisations on the campus, the university authorities have convened an emergency syndicate meeting at 3:00pm today.
DUJA filed two cases against BCL and JCD activists with Shahbagh police Sunday night. It will also observe a sit-in programme on the campus at noon today in protest against repression on journalists.
