SAVAR, April 20, 2022 (BSS)- Students of Jahangirnagar University (JU) today staged a demonstration on the campus protesting the attack on the students of Dhaka College by a group of traders of the New Market area here.

Under the banner of 'Jahangirnagar University Students,' they formed a human chain on the central Shaheed Minar premises of the university to express solidarity with the students of Dhaka College.

Meanwhile, leaders and activists of JU unit of Bangladesh Chhatra League joined the human chain and expressed their solidarity with the protesting students.

Addressing the programme, JU BCL President Akhtaruzzaman Sohel said, Bangabandhu had moved towards building an independent Bangladesh with the students. Attack on those students is tragic. The anti-independence clique always attack students to create instability in the country. Therefore, the incident of attack on the students of Dhaka College should be properly investigated and the real culprits should be brought to book and punished.

JU BCL General Secretary Md Habibur Rahman Liton said, the role of the student was paramount in making the country independent by responding to the struggle that Bangabandhu called for.
 
Students' society had contributed to every democratic movement in the country. Attack on the students will never be accepted.  We demand a fair investigation and trial, otherwise the students will go for a tougher movement, he added.
