The Dhaka University unit of the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), the student wing of Awami League yesterday, vowed to drive out all Islami Chhatra Shibir activists from all the dormitories of the Dhaka University.

The call was made from a meeting of the DU unit of the BCL held at the DUCSU building yesterday afternoon.

BCL leaders of the DU unit urged general students and all progressive minded student organisations to work together to ensure a Shibir-free campus.

Sources in the meeting said the BCL leaders would meet the university authorities soon to inquire about the administration's steps taken so far to prevent the Shibir's activists from all of their activities.

Shibir's activities have been banned on the campus by the Paribesh Parishad Committee comprising representatives of student organisations of Dhaka University.

DU BCL General Secretary Sazzad Sakib Badsha said general and progressive students are concerned about the secret activities of the Shibir. "Now it is our duty to ensure that our sacred university will not be polluted by any fundamentalist force," Badsha said.

The DU BCL unit has also decided that they would intensify their movement to free the Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina, the sources said.

The DU BCL Secretary said, "We will accelerate our movement to reach a logical conclusion of the matter."

The meeting also condemned the decision of the jail authorities for not admitting the BCL general secretary Mahfujul Haider Roton despite doctor,s advise. The DU BCL also demanded the release of Roton.
