The interim government鈥檚 adviser for the education ministry Wahiduddin Mahmud on Wednesday urged the students of Dhaka University-affiliated seven colleges to be patient and not to create public suffering.
In a statement, issued on the day, he also urged the students to go back to their own educational institutions.
The adviser gave the statement while students of seven colleges on Tuesday started a three-day demonstration by blocking Science Laboratory crossing to press home their demand for a separate autonomous university.
On Wednesday they blocked the road for the second consecutive day causing suffering to people.
Education ministry on October 24 formed a 13-member committee to solve the academic and administrative problems of seven colleges following the recent protests of the students.
Wahiduddin Mahmud in the statement on Wednesday said that after the formation of the interim government students and teachers from different educational institutions were staging protests with different demands.
The protesters were thinking that if they continued their movements on roads, their demands would be fulfilled immediately, he said.
Following these, he continued, 鈥楶eople are suffering on roads and the government is not having enough time to review these demands.鈥�
The adviser mentioned that a committee was already formed to consider the demands of the seven colleges鈥� students and it would submit a report within seven weeks.
鈥楾he problems are complex and it requires some minimum time to consider the solutions,鈥� the statement further read.
In these circumstances, the adviser urged the students to be patient and return to their educational institutions.
