All electoral panels except that of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) on Monday boycotted the polls to Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) and its hall unions, bringing allegations of vote fraud, reports UNB.

BCL is the student wing of ruling Bangladesh Awami League.

Leaders of the panels – left alliance, quota reform panel, independent panel, Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal panel – announced their decision from a press briefing at Madhur Canteen on the campus in the afternoon.

They announced that they will also observe a class-boycott programme from Tuesday for an indefinite period demanding a fresh schedule for the overdue polls.

Meanwhile, Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) in another press briefing boycotted the election.
