Ducsu GS demands VP Noor’s resignation over graft charge
Staff Reporter :
The Chhatra League panel members of Dhaka University Central Student Union (DUCSU) have demanded the resignation of its Vice President (VP) Noorul Haque Noor over allegations of corruption.
DUCSU General Secretary Golam Rabbani along with 23 Chhatra League leaders held a press conference at DUCSU office on Sunday demanding Noor’s resignation or expulsion from his VP post.
During the briefing, they brought charges of illegal tender business and illegal
money transaction against him. DUCSU member Rakib Hossain Rakib read out a written statement where they demanded the resignation of Noor.
They brought the charge after an unverified audio clip, in which a person was heard requesting another to be a bank guarantor of a project, has been leaked recently and spread over the internet. The Chhatra League leaders also wanted a fair investigation into the matter.
Meanwhile, Rabbani answered the queries of the reporters. Rabbani said it’s clear from the audio clip that Ducsu VP was involved with corruption and illegal activities. “He has no moral right to remain as VP of DUCSU.” Describing Noor as corrupt, he said, “I hope he’ll step down soon. If he doesn’t, then we’ll take steps against him.”
“We also request the University Vice-Chancellor and DUCSU president to remove Noor from the post as soon as possible, ” he said. On December 4, Muktijuddho Moncho, a platform comprising descendants of Freedom Fighters, padlocked Noor’s DUCSU office room, demanding his resignation.
Labelling Noor as corrupt, some activists of the platform, allegedly led by its spokesperson Prof AKM Jamal Uddin of DU’s sociology department, locked the room, said witnesses.
On December 5 Noor alleged that a portion of the audio clip containing his conversation has been circulated with ill motive. The incident has impacted on his honour and created confusion among people, he said during a press conference on that day.
The audio clip was a portion of his conversation between him and his aunt and one of his acquaintance, Noor said.
Terming the conversation completely personal and business related in nature, Noor claimed that he was taking to a man he knew about a bank guarantee of Tk 13 crore for his aunt’s construction firm.
VP Noor said also, if the allegation is proved, he will step down without any question. After 28 years, the DUCSU election was held on March 11. Nurul Haque Noor a quota reform leader won the vice-president post while the BCL leaders bagged a total of 23 posts out of 25, including general secretary and assistant general secretary.
