Around 50 teachers and officials under the banner of “Jahangirnagar Nationalist Teachers-Officers-Staff Forum” took part in the program which began at 11:00am and continued till 1.00pm.
During the program, Prof Syed Kamrul Ahsan, convener of JU ‘Nationalist Teachers Forum’ said, “When a sick woman has to be taken to hospital for taking rest, then government has sent her to the court. It’s a gross violation of human rights. People must reply against such inhumane conduct against nationalist parties including Khaleda Zia in the upcoming polls.”
Denouncing the government for the act, the speakers at the programme also criticized intellectuals and civil society representatives for remaining silent about the ruling party’s ‘autocratic move’.
The teachers are mulling a large-scale movement soon for the release of Khaleda.
Prof. Shamsul Alam Selim of Government and Politics Department, Prof. Kamrul Ahsan of Philosophy, Prof. Sharif Uddin of Mathematics department, among others, were present.
