BCL men demand sacking of 2 CU teachers

The activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League of Chittagong University unit yesterday demanded termination of two teachers of the university over their Facebook remarks on quota reform.

The two teachers were also declared persona non grata on the campus.

BCL men alleged that the teachers were supporting the quota reform movement, instigating others and spreading hate speeches against the government on Facebook.

Terming them Jamaat-Shibir agent, the BCL men claimed that the teachers also posted “defamatory status” about the prime minister.

VC Prof Iftekhar Uddin said they would look into the matter.
