2009-10-29 |
[Bangla Daily Star] At least 15 people were injured in a clash between Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) activists of Jagannath University yesterday. BCL men beat up several Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) leaders and activists and ousted them from the campus during the clash that created a huge traffic jam in the area. JCD activists vandalised four vehicles at the time. Abdul Hanif, officer-in-charge of Sutrapur Police Station, said police charged batons to calm the situation when the students blocked the road and arrested a JCD activist Jasim on charge of ransacking vehicles. Meanwhile, JCD threatened the university administration that they would call strike if the BCL cadres were not punished and co-existence on the campus was not ensured. The injured were taken to a local clinic for treatment. Witnesses said a newly formed fourteen-member convening committee of JCD's Jagannath University unit went to meet the vice chancellor (VC). The BCL men chased them out of the campus at the time. |

#2 I think what you're reaching for is, university lads haven't changed since the High Middle Ages, JosephM. They used to do this kind of thing in Paris on a regular basis, or so I've read. |
