Expressing their support for the students of Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET), the general students of BRAC University (BRACU) staged a protest in front of their campus in Merul Badda on April 16. 

Chanting slogans and holding up signs, the protestors echoed the demand of KUET students, calling for the resignation of KUET Vice Chancellor Prof. Mohammad Mashud. BRACU students voiced their concerns, talking about the violence that erupted on the KUET campus in February and criticising the VC for failing to enact adequate measures against the perpetrators. 

Despite all political activity being banned on campus following the August 5 uprising, members of Jatiotabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) were spotted handing out membership forms to students on the premises of KUET. Following this development, the general students of KUET, who viewed it as a direct violation, organised a movement against JCD and their activities. 

A total of 37 students have been suspended for their alleged involvement in clashes that occurred on February 18 and 19. The decision was taken at an emergency meeting of the university's syndicate held last night. 

The protesting students at BRACU affirmed that they will continue to stand by the students and that their protests will continue until the demands are met.
