Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) expresses grave concern over the violent clash that took place on Monday July 5th 2010 at Jahangirnagar University. The clash between two factions of the Bangladesh Chatra League (BCL) left 50 injured, including one Assistant Proctor.
According to the online edition of several newspapers, the clash between the former and the newly formed committee of BCL university unit centered around establishing each other’s dominance. Gunfire was exchanged between both groups during the conflict. Out of those who are injured, 10 are in critical condition.
We demand the government to take necessary steps to ensure peace at Jahangirnagar University campus and take punitive measures against those who were involved in the conflict.
