Chhatra League has tried to expel Zoology Department student Sarjis Alam, one of the participants in the quota reform movement, from the hall. The agitating students from different halls of the university gathered in front of Amar Ekushey Hall and protested.
This incident happened on Wednesday (July 4) at 12:00 pm. At this time students of Amar Ekushey Hall, Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah Hall, Fazlul Haque Muslim Hall gathered and chanted various slogans.
Sarjis Alam said that some aspirants of Amar Ekushe Hall Chhatra League's hall unit called a roommate of Sarjis and told him to go down from the hall. After learning about the matter, he met the aspirants at TSC and asked to know the truth of the information. The BCL aspirants told him that they had been given this order by the party high command.
He also said, for the sake of continuing the ongoing movement, I think it is better to go down from the hall. But when I left the hall, the students blocked me in front of the hall.
He also said that the Provost of the hall, Professor Ishtiaq M Syed, asked him to stay in the hall.
He said, later I came to know that no such order was given by the BCL high command. Hall aspirants have done such things to get 'credit'. Representatives of Chhatra League President Saddam Hossain and General Secretary Wali Asif Inan met me. Those who asked me to get down later apologized.
Sarjis did not say which candidates in the hall asked him to step down.
However, it has been alleged that the aspirants following Saddam Hossain's central president of the Chhatra League gave him this order.
It is to be noted that at least five hundred students gathered at the main gate of the hall on the information of the order to go down. After telling the whole incident, they left the place around 1 am.
The Provost of the hall, Professor Ishtiaq M Syed, said that it was misinformation. I thought there was some conflict between the students. Later, it is not such a situation. Those who talked Sarjis out of the hall, he has settled. The students took a stand without knowing the whole story.
