Al Mahadee Talukder and general secretary Abul Basar Siddiki at noon. Later
they paraded the key points of campus and held rally at Aparajeya Bangla.
JCD central leaders, who are allegedly finished their studentship were
present in the campaigning supporting their Mostafizur-Anik-Sohel panel for
DUCSU poll, sources said.
JCD activists chanted slogans demanding immediate release of Khaleda Zia.
Asking the query JCD central president Rajjb Ahsan said, “As everyone has
right to access on the campus, we came with our panel. We did not distribute
leaflets.”

Court order.

should put his candidature at risk violating the DUCSU code of conduct,” Prof
Rabbani told BSS.
