The BCL activists of different halls of the University took part in the procession that started from Modhu`s canteen and ended at the Aparajeyo Bangla after marching the campus at 11:30am.

The organisation also demanded the release of Central General Secretary of the organisation Mahfuzul Haider Chowdhury (Roton) who is languishing in prison for almost a year.

BCL Joint Secretary Jasim Uddin, DU Unit President Sohel Rana Tipu and the General Secretary Sazzad Sakib Badsha, among others, took part in the procession.

Earlier, an organisation for the disabled formed a human chain in front of Aparajeyo Bangla to increase the quota for the disabled from 1 to 5 per cent as the 10 per cent people of the country are disabled.

The organisation submitted a memorandum to the Chief Adviser, Army Chief and the PSC Chairman to meet their demand from 28th BCS examination.

They also demanded to bring down the quota to 20 per cent.
