[ALOCHONA] Chatra League stop admission again



BCL men stop admission again

Stick to demand for 'political quota' at Dhaka College

 

Bangladesh Chhatra League men yesterday halted interview of first year honours admission at Sathkhira City College for about half an hour demanding a "political quota" and continued barring holding of interview at Dhaka College.

Meanwhile, the admission process at Kushtia Government College resumed yesterday, a day after it was halted by BCL.

Moreover, the council of teachers of Dhaka College held an emergency meeting yesterday and decided to suspend all admission activities today.

Witnesses said some BCL workers, loyal to its Dhaka College unit President Sagir Ahmed and General Secretary Tutul, entered its hall room and stopped the interview process soon after it resumed at about 9:00am yesterday.

The admission process has remained stalled at the collage for last four days as on Saturday the BCL men stopped it demanding their quota.

BCL leaders, however, claimed that students who have appeared at the admission test under the National University staged demonstrations on the campus and stopped the admission process demanding publication of its full result.

As per the new rules, this year the National University has published admission test results against the seat capacity of a college without hanging any waiting list.

Asked, BCL leader Sagir told The Daily Star that BCL men were not involved in halting the admission process at Dhaka College but students who sit for the admission tests have created this situation demanding publication of full result to know their individual fate.

Refuting allegations of admission trade, Sagir said, "We (BCL leaders) have sat with the college authorities and placed the demand of the students. I hope that the admission process will start on Thursday as the authorities have discussed the issue with the National University."

Talking to reporters Principal of Dhaka College Sirajuddin Ahmed said a certain quarter halted the admission process. They will announce a fresh date today to resume it, he added.

The teachers' council also decided to hold a "protest meeting" at the college auditorium 12:00noon today protesting the attack on the teachers yesterday, said a press release of the office of Principal of Dhaka College.

College principal chaired the meeting where they decided to inform the matter to higher authority concerned.

The release also said some miscreants in guise of students put obstruction in the admission process of the honours first year of 2009-2010 academic session, stopped admission seekers and vandalised some rooms of the college and assault some teachers.

The meeting endorsed a condemnation proposal for the incident and demanded legal actions against the miscreants.

Our Satkhira correspondent adds: At least six to eight BCL men confined teachers of Satkhira City College for 15 minutes to a room where they were taking interview of the admission seekers.

The interview process resumed after half an hour as college unit BCL General Secretary Aminur Rahman rushed in and unlocked the room.

BCL has been demanding a "political quota" in the admission to the college for the last few days.

Our Kushtia correspondent adds: The interview of first year honours admission seekers resumed at Kushtia Government College at 9:00am yesterday after the Chhatra League men halted it on Monday.

Principal of the college Professor Hasanuzzaman said yesterday's interview of the admission seekers was taken following due process.

On Monday, BCL men along with some outsiders led by BCL college unit General Secretary Al-Mamun entered the principal's room and asked him to keep a quota of at least 100 seats in the admission.

They also locked up rooms of several departments and the accounts section to stop sale of admission forms when the principal refused to meet their demand.
