Student representatives of the seven colleges previously affiliated with Dhaka University (DU) have withdrawn their 24-hour ultimatum after receiving assurances that their demands will be addressed.
The decision was announced on Tuesday following a meeting at the Secretariat with Home Affairs Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury and Information and Broadcasting Adviser Md. Nahid Islam. Two representatives from Dhaka College and one from Eden Mohila College were present at the meeting.
Earlier on Monday evening, students had issued an ultimatum demanding the resignation of Dhaka University Pro-Vice Chancellor (Education) Prof. Dr. Mamun Ahmed. At a press briefing held at Dhaka College’s Shaheed Minar premises, the students also demanded the immediate withdrawal of the Officer-in-Charge (OC) and Assistant Commissioner (AC) of New Market Police Station for their alleged involvement in assaulting a Dhaka College student.
