Former leaders and activists of Islamic University unit Bangladesh Chhatra League, the student organisation of the ruling Awami League, staged a demonstration for the second consecutive day on Monday demanding vice-chancellor Professor Shaikh Abdus Salam's resignation.

A group of IU ex-BCL leaders and activists went to the vice-chancellor office and kept it under lock and key in the morning after a total of three audio conversations between IU VC and a job seeker went viral on social media Facebook.

The agitators vowed to continue their demonstration on the campus until their demand was met.

IU BCL unit former organising secretary Rasel Joarder told UNB that the vice-chancellor advised a job seeker of the Mass Communication and Journalism department over phone regarding the question patterns for the recruitment board of the department.

He had no rights to share any recruitment information with a job seeker. They urged the government to look into the matter, he added.

The university proctorial body, however, raided the VC office to search if there was any hidden device set up at the vice-chancellor office in the morning.

A total of seven audio conversations, three with a job seeker and two with ministry officials and two others with IU officials, went viral on social media Facebook on Thursday night to Monday afternoon.

Three audio clips of conversations between vice-chancellor Shaikh Abdus Salam and the mass communication and journalism department jobseeker Oliur Rahman were leaked and posted on Facebook where the VC asked Oliur to collect two other job seekers to fulfill the requirement for the department’s recruitment test.

The vice-chancellor also told Oliur that Oliur failed to write his answer to the question of the recruitment test held on October 25, 2022. He also told him that he was not good at IQ.

The vice-chancellor gave him some advices for the test.

IU acting registrar HM Ali Hasan filed a general diary with Islamic University police station in this connection on Friday night.
