JU hall provost announces to quit post
Provost of Bishwakabi Rabindranath Tagore Hall of Jahangirnagar University (JU) Nazmul Hasan Talukder has announced resignation from his post.
According to JU sources, announcement came following an attack on quota protestors allegedly by Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists in the early hours of Monday (July 15).
Nazmul Hasan Talukder announced his resignation in the presence of the Vice-Chancellor of the university.
In this regard, Nazmul Hasan Talukder said: "I resigned verbally. I will complete all the formalities later. I will not return to this duty [as a provost]."
Protesters alleged that the provost didn’t play any responsible role when the members of BCL attacked the protestors.
They claimed that the leaders and workers of Chhatra League prevented four residents of the dormitory from joining an anti-quota procession that started at 11:30pm and checked their mobile phones in the presence of the provost of the hall Professor Nazmul Hasan Talukder.
Later, when they were passing the road adjacent to the Rabindranath Tagore hall of the university some BCL leaders attacked the protesters, leaving at least five of the agitators injured, they alleged.
