Jahangirnagar University Bengali department chairperson Professor Shamima Sultana removed prime minister Sheikh Hasina鈥檚 portrait from her office, blaming her for killing, attacking, torturing, and arresting students protesting for quota reform.
Professor Shamima confirmed reporters on Thursday.
鈥業 think her (Sheikh Hasina) image has been erased from people鈥檚 hearts. She brutally tortured the students involved in the anti-quota movement and lied again and again鈥�, she said.
She also claimed that the prime minister ordered the attack on the students.
鈥楽he has the blood of many students on her hands. Students are like my children. I don鈥檛 want to have that person鈥檚 picture on my wall whose hands are stained with the blood of my child. So I have removed her picture from the wall鈥�, she stated.
She also said that such activities of the prime minister did not belong to the main spirit of the War of Independence.
However, the portrait of the country鈥檚 founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was seen hanging on the wall of the office.
On March 27, 2002, the government decided to hang portraits of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the head of the government at all the offices of the government, semi-government, autonomous bodies, educational institutions, and Bangladesh missions abroad.
