UNB, Dhaka

Teachers and students of Dhaka University Sunday demanded fair investigation into the bomb attack at the residence of former DUTA president Dr AAMS Arefin Siddique, professor of Mass Communication and Journalism Department (MCJ). To press home their demand, teachers and students of the MCJ department and the DU unit of Bangladesh Chhatra League staged separate demonstrations on the campus in the morning.

Teachers and students of the MCJ Department brought out a silent procession in the campus at about 11am. Later, they held a rally at the foot of Aparajeya Bangla.

MCJ Department chairman Prof Sheikh Abdus Salam, Prof Akhter Sultana, associate professors Mofizur Rahman and Shamim Reza and lecturer Shamim Mahmud addressed the rally.

Speaking at the rally, Prof Salam said the culprits behind the bomb attack would have to be found out through proper investigation for the sake of security of the teachers and students. "The DU teachers are repeatedly being victimized by terrorist attacks. Few years ago, in this month of February, late Prof Dr Humayun Azad came under terrorist attack. But the state has failed to ensure security of its leading citizens," he said.
