JU students go on strike demanding VC’s removal

Demanding the removal of Jahangirnagar University (JU) Vice-Chancellor (VC), students today went on an indefinite strike and padlocked all the faculty gates on the campus, creating a deadlock in the university.

Due to the strike, most of the students boycotted their classes and examinations today.

Yesterday, the protesters under the banner of ‘Jahangirnagar Against Corruption’ built a ‘VC Removal Stage’ (Opacharjo Oposharan Mancha) from where they announced the programme.

Susmita Moriom, president of JU Chhatra Front, said they would continue their demonstration until VC Farzana Islam steps down from the post for her involvement in corruption.
