Allegation of teacher insult and vandalism against Chhatra Dal in Noakhali Government College

Allegations of vandalism in the office of the principal of Noakhali Government College were made against Chhatra Dal leaders and workers during the graduation examination under the National University. During this time, the teachers were insulted, humiliated and physically assaulted. This incident happened around 2:30 on Wednesday.
The teacher’s council complained that some teachers along with the principal were eating lunch in a room of the principal’s office at the time of the vandalism. At that time, a group of leaders and activists including Rashedul Islam, president of the college student body, entered the office and insulted them and forced them to get up from the dining table. At this time, Munshadur Rahman, associate professor of Bengal department, was physically assaulted and his shirt button was torn. Anwar Hossain, Associate Professor of Islamic Studies Department, was threatened with death.
In this incident, the emergency meeting of the teachers’ council has announced an indefinite strike from Thursday. However, the ongoing graduation examinations of the National University will remain outside the ambit of the strike. The teachers said that the program will continue until the punishment of those involved in the vandalism and the cancellation of the current committee of the college student body. Human bonding program will also be provided if needed.
The college authorities complained that some leaders and workers of the Chhatra Dal were creating an unstable situation in the college for some days due to non-payment of contributions for various development works and examination fees. This attack happened as a result. However, the allegation of demand for subscription has been denied by Chhatra Dal. They claim that these charges are being brought against the teachers because they are protesting against the irregularities and mismanagement.
Went to the college this afternoon and found a broken flower tub lying in front of the principal’s office. Broken water mugs are scattered inside. Food brought for the teachers is seen lying on the plates. Chhatra Dal leaders and activists were seen staying in the campus. At the same time, the police also took a stand.
Professor Nurul Afshar, General Secretary of Teachers Council, said, “We were having lunch in the acting principal ABM Sana Ullah’s room in the afternoon. At that time, Chhatra Dal leaders and workers came and vandalized and insulted and threatened us.
Acting Principal ABM Sana Ullah said, “For some time they were causing unpleasant incidents due to non-payment of funds. Today it has reached its peak. We will inform the central Chhatra Dal and local leaders of BNP.
Rashedul Islam, president of College Chhatra Dal, was not found in the campus. There, the vice-president of the College Chhatra Dal, Aktaruzzaman Vishal told Prothom Alo, that no Chhatra Dal leaders and workers are involved in the vandalism incident. Allegations of demand for subscription are also baseless. These complaints are being made to cover up the irregularities of the teachers.
Later, when contacted on the phone, Rashedul Islam, president of the college student body, told Prothom Alo, “When the teachers were eating, I went there and told the principal, sir, you could have invited us instead of eating alone. When a teacher said, “Ruppur power plant has done Sheikh Hasina, we are seeing what your Tariq Rahman has done in two months, we are watching,” etc. At the same time, another teacher misbehaved when a student was talking about opening the graduation class classroom. Then the student got angry and vandalized a tub of flowers and a glass. This has nothing to do with Chhatra Dal.
Officer-in-charge (OC) of Sudharam police station. Touhidul Islam said, “The police went to the spot after receiving the news. Haven’t received written complaint yet. If complaints are received, necessary measures will be taken after investigation.
