BUET students swear against campus politics
DU Correspondent :
The general students of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) have taken an oath against student politics for ensuring a safe and learning friendly campus.
They took the oath in front of BUET cafeteria on Tuesday following the recent incident of arresting a group of BUET students from Sunamganj Tanguar Haor and subsequently their release by a court order.
“We, the BUET students, are in a strong and clear position against any kind of student politics on the campus.
We won’t allow any kind of politics on the campus,” the students said holding a press conference after taking the oath.
The BUET students also expressed their position against the return of Ashikul Islam Bitu who
was found guilty by BUET authority for ragging and uncooperative manner during Abrar Fahad’s murder investigation.
“We are expressing our strong position against the return of Ashikul Islam Bitu. We will not share classes with such a notorious person and if BUET authorities do not take any steps quickly, we will not think twice to boycott classes,” the students said.
Nearly one thousand students of the university stood in lines and put their right hands on their chest and read out the oath.
“I promise that from this moment on, as a member of the BUET family, I will fulfil all the personal and collective moral and human responsibilities assigned to me for the welfare and safety of all of this university with utmost honesty and devotion,” the student said during the oath.
“I will always be vocal against every injustice and discrimination that I am aware of on the campus of this university.”
“I also pledge that we will collectively prevent all forms of terrorism and communal violence from arising at this university.
We will root out all forms of discriminatory subculture and abuse of power inconsistent with morality. So that no more innocent lives will be lost in this yard.
We will ensure that no innocent student is subjected to torture from now on,” they added at their oath speech.
Demanding a proper investigation into BUET students- who were arrested from Sunamganj after being suspected as Chattra Shibir activists, they said, “We have requested authorities to probe the matter and take immediate steps if they are found guilty.”
