‘BCL ‘ vandalised Qawwali concert at DU

A group of miscreants have vandalised a Qawwali concert held at the Teacher student Centre (TSC) of Dhaka University (DU).

Witness and Organisers of the programme complained that followers of Chhatra League’s Dhaka University unit general secretary Hussain Saddam attacked the programme with domestic weapons.

The injured are singer Arbaaz Shahbazi and Minhaj.The attackers assaulted the organisers and singers and vandalised the stage and chairs, said the organisers.

Huzaifa, one of the organisers, said, ‘Before starting our works today, TSC director Akbar told us that Saddam phoned and asked them not to allow the organisers to hold the programme.’

‘He told us to talk to Saddam. Saddam later pressured the university proctor not to allow the programme.  As we tried to carry on the programme, Saddam Hussein being unable to cancel the programme, sent his followers who attacked us,’ said Huzaifa.

Denying the allegations, Saddam said that Chhatra League activists were not involved in the attack.

However, after the attack, university students immediately brought out a protest procession demanding justice.

After visiting the place, proctor Golam Rabbani said that he did not know who carried out the attack.

He also said that they would take actions to identify the attackers.
