In the wake of the High Court`s decision to overturn the ban on student politics at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet), students convened a press briefing at 6:02 pm on Monday, voicing their aspiration for a campus devoid of political activities.
At the briefing, the students articulated their reverence and trust in the nation`s judiciary, emphasizing their stance against the incursion of external political figures onto the campus, notably the incident on March 28 deemed a breach of university regulations.
They appealed to the Vice-Chancellor to align with the wishes of the Buet teachers and students in sustaining a politics-free educational environment.
In contrast, Chhatra League President Saddam Hossain, addressing the media on Monday afternoon, welcomed the High Court`s decision as a restoration of constitutional rights previously curtailed by the university`s administrative policies. Hossain expressed optimism about the resumption of regular student political activities at Buet, pledging to pursue this objective in accordance with the High Court`s directive and Buet`s ordinances.
Buet`s administration has declared its intention to comply with the High Court`s decision, signaling a potential shift in the campus`s political landscape.
Subsequent to these developments, supporters of the Bangladesh Chhatra League at Buet organized a procession, culminating in a tribute at the Buet Shaheed Minar.
