Post, Telecommunication and Information Technology and Information and Broadcasting Adviser. Nahid Islam said, a university will not have a campus, will not have a hall, it cannot be. We promise, these will be done soon. Students' demands will be accepted soon. I know, the students of Jagannath University are suffering a lot. A member of my family is a student of Jagannath University. They don't have a residence hall. Therefore, I fully agree with the demands of the students. All their demands are reasonable.
Adviser Nahid said these things while meeting the Jabi students who are agitating for various demands including handing over the work of the second campus to the army in Keraniganj on Monday afternoon.
Nahid said, the reality is that we will not be able to complete the hall in three days. But I can hand it over to the army. We have to sit for that. We will hand over the second campus to the army in three days. I will do what I can.
Students have been insulted inside the secretariat - Nahid said in this context, the secretary and the concerned officials who insulted the students and sent them back will apologize for this. Action will also be taken against them.
Earlier, JOB students stood in front of the Secretariat to demand that the work of the second campus in Keraniganj be handed over to the army, along with five points and inclusion in the pilot project of UGC. The students are still standing in front of the secretariat. The officials and employees have been blocked in the secretariat.
At this time, the students kept chanting slogans like 'Ami ke, tumi ke, jobian, jobian', 'Mula na campus, campus, campus', 'aps na struggle, struggle, struggle', rights not injustice, rights, rights.
The students' demand is that the corrupt project director appointed during the dictatorship should be brought to justice and a competent army officer should be appointed as the project director within seven days, an announcement should come from the Ministry of Education that the work of the second campus has been handed over to the army and a clear outline of the process of handover. There will be (on a priority basis), measures should be taken to acquire the remaining 11 acres of land immediately and all unethical agreements made during the dictatorship with respect to the old campus should be cancelled.
