While breaking the hunger strike of students of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), Prof Dr Muhammad Zafar Iqbal said that he was an outsider on the campus. At that time, he called Vice-Chancellor Farid Uddin Ahmed a 'monster'.
He made the remarks on Wednesday (January 26) at around quarter past 11 in the morning.
He told students, ‘I am an outsider on campus, not even a representative of SUST. Despite this, I request you to give all your demands in writing. I will talk to the authorities to implement them. '
Assuring the release of the former students, he told reporters, "He (VC) cannot stay here unless the students want him to. If they continue the movement, it is their decision. Those who have been detained will be released. I hope the government will consider the issues.
Earlier, around 4 am, Professor Dr Muhammad Zafar Iqbal and his wife came to see the students on hunger strike. They talked to them. He requested to break the fast. At that time, the students agreed to break the hunger strike if he promised to be by their side.
On January 19, from 3 pm, 24 students went on a hunger strike demanding the resignation of the Vice-Chancellor. Meanwhile, a family member of a student who went on hunger strike fell ill so he returned home. Later last Sunday, five more students joined there.
They announced that they would continue their hunger strike until the Vice-Chancellor resigns. However, the students have taken an oath to continue the movement till their demands are met.
