Hindustan Surkhiyan Desk:Some Chhatra League leaders have announced their resignation over “the attack” on agitating students demanding reform in quota in civil service.
Besides, many central and university unit leaders of Chhatra League, pro-Awami League student’s front, supported the movement yesterday.
The BCL leaders made their announcements in social media. Among them are Saifullah Saif, general secretary of Dhaka University tourism department BCL, Osibur Rahman, deputy hospitality secretary of Shaheed Sergeant Zahurul Haque Hall, and Sharif Hasan Sujon, general secretary of applied physics department BCL.
Sources said many Chhatra League leaders and activists have expressed their support for reforming the quota system.
In his Facebook account, Saifullah said the BCL is a creation of the Father of the Nation; it plays a role in DUCSU and works to protect students’ rights. The organisation is a friend of general students.
He said he doubts whether the BCL follows Bangabandhu’s ideology at all. “My Bangabandhu is different. That’s why I am resigning from the post of BCL general secretary at the tourism and hospitality management department of Dhaka University. That’s enough, no more!”
Osibur posted a copy of his resignation letter in Facebook citing “personal reason” for his decision.
BCL sources said Osibur has been taking part in the ongoing movement over reforming the quota system.
