Patuakhali Science and Technology University teachers, staff and general students are on a sit-in strike for the fourth day demanding the removal of the vice-chancellor. About 200 people stood in front of the administration building at around 10 am on Thursday and demanded the suspension of all activities and the removal of the Vice-Chancellor and the arrest of those involved in the attack.
Prof. ABM Saiful Islam, who participated in the movement, said that a sit-in strike was held peacefully in front of the administration building last Monday against the irregularities, corruption and arbitrariness of Vice-Chancellor Kazi Rafiqul Islam. At that time, under the influence of the Vice-Chancellor, about a hundred outsiders entered the university and ambushed them. This is not at all acceptable from a university vice-chancellor. Therefore, until the removal of the Vice-Chancellor and the arrest of the people involved in the attack, the movement will continue with the suspension of all activities of Pobiprabi.

Abul Bashar Khan, proctor of Pobiprabi who participated in the movement, said, “Declaring the Vice-Chancellor undesirable, about a hundred teachers, officials and employees along with him observed a sit-in strike on Monday. If the vice-chancellor has any objections or points of discussion, he can talk to us. But instead of doing that, they were ambushed by bringing outsiders.
Proctor Abul Bashar Khan also said that external terrorists, fueled by the Vice-Chancellor, will enter the university and beat, injure and threaten the teachers, officers and employees, which cannot be accepted. Therefore, the movement will continue along with suspending all activities until the trial of the Vice-Chancellor and the arrest of those involved in the attack. However, considering the future of the students, the exam will be held next Sunday. Apart from this, no other activities will be carried out.
