BCL expels 2 RU leaders

Sheikh Rasel, office secretary of Chhatra League’s central committee, confirmed it to Dhaka Tribune

Two leaders of the Rajshahi University unit Chhatra League, student wing of the ruling Awami League, have been expelled from the organisation following Sunday’s attack on protesters that left scores of students injured.

Sheikh Rasel, office secretary of Chhatra League’s central committee, told the Dhaka Tribune that Nasim Ahmed Setu, joint secretary, and Shamsuzzaman Emon, organising secretary of RU unit, were expelled for “anti-organisation activities.”

It was learnt from Ganabhaban sources that the decision was made after the Chhatra League president and the secretary met Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The authorities closed down university for an indefinite period after the police and the Chhatra League activists attacked students, who were demonstrating on the campus protesting fee hike and introduction of evening masters courses in social science faculty.
