A group of students of Jahangirnagar University removed the portrait of country鈥檚 founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman from the university鈥檚 administrative building on Thursday noon.
The group of students, led by a coordinator of the university chapter of Student Movement Against Discrimination Touhid Md Siam, entered the council room of the building and took down the picture at about 1:00pm.
鈥榃e vowed to remove all portraits of Mujib from the campus as he initiated a fascist regime in the country,鈥� Touhid Siam said.
Terming Mujib as the forerunner of fascism in Bangladesh, he also said that Sheikh Hasina established a fascist regime following in his father鈥檚 footsteps.
The university administration refused to comment over the issue.
As per the article 4(A) of the country鈥檚 constitution, it聽聽 is mandatory for offices to keep portraits of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
On August 5, a student-led mass uprising ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina forcing her to flee to India.
