Students of Jahangirnagar University put up barricade on Dhaka-Aricha Highway on Monday demanding resignation of home adviser Jahangir Alam Chowdhury for his ‘failure’ to bring the law and order situation under control across Bangladesh.
The students of the university brought out a procession from Shaheed Minar on the campus at noon and took to the street, disrupting vehicular movement.
They also chanted slogans ‘one point demand, resignations of home adviser’, why mugging occurred across the country, one, two, three, four, want Jahangir’s resignation; administration give answers, want safe country, ensure safety of women’.
Arifuzzaman Ujjal, student of 47th batch of the university, said, ‘We can see that the law and order situation has completely collapsed across the country. Those who actively participated in the July revolution came under attack. False cases are being filed in the name of revolutionaries in the name of Devil Hunt. There is no security in our lives. Incidents of murder, mugging and rape are happening horribly across the country.’
Rakib Hossain, another student of 49th batch of Chemistry department, said the law and order situation in the country collapsed due to the negligence of the administration.
