The National Citizens Party (NCP) has expressed solidarity with the ongoing student movement of Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (Kuwait). The party has demanded the formation of a neutral inquiry committee and the resignation of the Vice -Chancellor.
Saleh Uddin Sifat, Joint Member Secretary (Office) of the NCP made the demand at an emergency press conference held at the party's temporary office in Banglamart on Monday (April 23). He announced full support for the movement, citing the demands of Kuwait students as logical.
At the press conference, Saleh Uddin Sifat said that on February 4, more than 150 students were injured in the attack on Kuwait students, but effective action has not yet been taken against the attackers. Instead, the leaders of the university administration have expelled six students and blamed the oppressed.
He also said that the neutrality of the university administration has been questioned as the information of seven central activists of a student body was revealed among the expelled. According to the press conference, 20 students are currently in the hunger strike and some have been admitted to the hospital after becoming ill.
The NCP claims that steps should be taken to resign the VC Muhammad Machud of Kuwait, to open the university hall and activate education activities. At the same time, a neutral inquiry committee headed by the UGC was formed and called for a quick resolution of the ongoing crisis.
Also present at the press conference were Joint Member Secretary Mushfiq Us Salehin, Faisal Mahmud Shant, Nizam Uddin, Joynal Abedin Shishir, Saif Mostafiz.
