[News script from The Daily Star] [All clips may not represent the story.] [Watch to learn English the way you've learnt your mother-tongue as this video is especially made.] Earlier around noon, some 150 BCL leaders and activists, led by JU unit President Jewel Rana, swooped on the protesters, driving them away from the spot. It left at least 35, including nine teachers and four journalists, injured. The injured included two female teachers and at least four female students. Some 12 students took treatment at a hospital in Savar. Many policemen were present during the assault, but they did nothing, said witnesses. After the assault, Prof Farzana came out of her residence under BCL protection and later attended an emergency university syndicate meeting, which decided to close down the university sine die. Talking to reports after the meeting, she described the agitating students as Islami Chhatra Shibir activists and thanked the BCL men for “dispersing” the demonstrators. “It’s a joyous day for me… I am very grateful to students, especially to Chhatra League [members]. They took the responsibility upon themselves and did it,” she said. “I have said it’s a mass upsurge. But, they did not do it at my directive.” After the university authorities announced closure of the university, many panic-stricken students started leaving the dormitories. However, a large number of female students came out of their halls and joined the protesters who had been dispersed. The students again came in front of the VC’s residence and chanted slogans demanding punishment of the attackers and removal of the VC. Later, they gathered in the transport area on the campus and obstructed vehicles from leaving the campus. Contacted, JU BCL chief Jewel also branded the protesters as Shibir activists. “That’s why we stepped in to disperse them. We want a Shibir-free campus.” The agitators rejected the allegation and said branding protesters as Shibir men was an old strategy for thwarting peaceful demonstrations. “Buet’s Abrar [Fahad] was killed in a similar manner. Here, the attackers are bringing the same excuse,” said Philosophy department Prof Raihan Rhyne, a spokesperson of the platform staging the protest. Prof Raihan, who was also hurt in the assault, said many of the injured were known faces of left-leaning political organisations at the university. The other injured teachers included Prof Sayeed Ferdous and Prof Mirza Taslima Sultana, teachers of anthropology department; Prof Abdur Razzak of zoology department; Assistant Professor Khandakar Hasan Mahmud of geography and environment department; and Prof Shamima Sultana of Bangla department. Talking to The Daily Star, Hasan Mahmud said, “The BCL men kicked in my belly.” Prof Khabir Uddin of environmental sciences department, described the assault on the teachers as a nasty incident. He said the BCL men carried out the attack with support from the VC and the teachers backed by her. “The VC-backed teachers were clapping when we were being assaulted.” The university plunged into a crisis in the wake of the student’s protest in August, demanding a judicial inquiry into the reported involvement of the vice-chancellor in corruption and mismanagement of Tk 1,445-crore campus development project.
