"Chhatra League" (student wing of BAL) decides to purchase more firearms to drive away Shibir at Rajshahi University
The RU (Rajshahi University) section of the
"Chhatra League" (student wing of BAL) has decided to purchase more firearms to drive away Shibir activists from the campus. In an extended session of the Chhatra League held at the Anthropological Sciences gallery in Syed Ismail Hussein Shirazi building at the university, this decision was finalized. Allegations of "Chhatra League" cadres brandishing illegally acquired firearms at the end of the session have also been made.
Sources revealed that under the chairmanship of the President of the RU section of the "Chhatra League" Ahmad Ali, and under the management of the General Secretary of the RU section of the "Chhatra League" Abo Hawsan Beepoo, an extended session was held at the Anthropological Sciences gallery in the Syed Ismail Hussein Shirazi building of the university related to the emerging situation in the country. A generalized plan of action, the formation of a new committee, the general situation prevailing at the campus, the solution of infighting (amongst BAL cadres), and the formulation of a number of means to safeguard themselves have been on the agenda at the meeting. After prolonged discussions and considerations of the general situation prevailing in the country,
it was decided that more firearms will be purchased (by the "Chhatra League" - Student League) to fight Shibir at any cost.
Meanwhile, the organizational secretary of the "Chhatra League", Tawhed el Toohen has made publicly displayed the usage of firearms, it has been revealead. A trusted source within the CL has confided that, t
he RU section "Chhatra League" has an inventory of 21 pistols, and lots of Chinese axes, kris, remadae, hasua, knives, iron pipes, sticks and other weapons of domestic origin. It has been learned that these weapons are stored in the Chhatra League controlled rooms of the 11 (residential) halls of the university.
Chhatra League cadres have been seen providing firearms training at Mader Banksho hall in broad daylight, in public view. Those weapons were used by the Chhatra League on October 2nd of last year to fire upon "Student Shibir" activists at the "Tooketake" square of the university. Even though five "Student Shibir" activists including RU "Student Shibir" section's General Secretary Saif Ud Din Yahya had been shot, no action was taken by the administration against the perpetrators.
Besides, three Chhatra League cadres were killed in the last four years with these weapons in infighting amongst Chhatra League cadres. These weapons have also been used to suppress "dissident" voices of "Chhatra Dal" (student wing of BNP) innumerable times by "Chhatra League" (student wing of BAL). The left arm of the joint convenor of the RU section of "Chhatra Dal" (student wing of BNP), Ahsan Uz Zaman, has been crippled due to these attacks by "Chhatra League" (student wing of BAL).
Another Chhatra League source revealed that, even though RU section of the Chhatra League was supposed to consist of 151 members as instructed from the centre, the committee does not even have as many as 50 members at present because many Chhatra League members had left the campus in fear of Shibir activists' response. As a result, the extended session of the Chhatra League (yesterday?) included only 40 to 45 members. "The RU section of the Chhatra league is a in a crisis of membership due to poor leadership." confided a Chhatra League leader not wishing to reveal his identity.
Regarding the (public) display of firearms and purchase of additional firearms, a Chhatra League leader on condition of anonymity affirmed that it has been decided, more firearms will be purchased to confront Chhatra Shibir (Student Shibir) when the idea of confronting Shibir was mooted at the meeting. The methods of operating "Chhatra League" in the future has also been discussed at the meeting, the Chhatra League leader informed.
Ahmed Ali, the president of Chhatra League (student wing of BAL), completely denied these allegations (of planned firearms purchase) and told journalists, "The general situation of the party was discussed at the meeting. The news of planned firearms purchase by Chhatra League is false. No such decision regarding the purchase of firearms has been taken."
