Professor Salimullah Khan has emphasized the need for a multidimensional analysis of the early stages of the Liberation War, going beyond accurate historical studies and state narratives. He said that the ‘Operation Searchlight’ of March 25, 1971, was a well-planned repression by the Pakistani military junta, which accelerated the armed resistance of the Bengalis and the Liberation War.

He made these remarks while delivering the keynote address at a seminar titled ‘Operation Searchlight and the Beginning of Bangladesh’s Liberation War: In Search of Authentic Historical Narratives’ at the central auditorium of Jagannath University on Monday.

Salimullah Khan emphasized the use of political-historical context, eyewitness accounts and contemporary documents to understand the history of the Liberation War. He noted that although this massacre amounted to genocide under international law, its full documentation is still necessary. He called for raising new questions and data-based research in search of the truth.

At the seminar, Jagannath University Vice Chancellor Professor Raish Uddin said that even after 56 years of independence, the true and accurate history of the Liberation War in Bangladesh has not yet been written, which is a big shame for the nation. He expressed regret and said that it has not yet been possible to determine the exact number of martyrs in the Liberation War or the complete list of martyred intellectuals. He called for freedom from the tendency to distort history to convey the correct history to future generations.

The event was chaired by the university’s research director, Professor Imranul Haque, and moderated by Md. Anisur Rahman, a teacher from the Department of Islamic History and Culture. Teachers, students and researchers from various departments of the university participated in the seminar.

A commotion broke out at a farewell ceremony for SSC candidates at a school in Sreepur, Gazipur. A former local BNP leader has been accused of indecent behavior, snatching the microphone and locking the headmaster’s room. A video of the incident has gone viral on Facebook.

It was learned that the incident took place at around 12 noon on Sunday in the premises of Banshbari High School in Sreepur Upazila. Due to the commotion, the students were in a panic and the program was stopped at one stage. Later, the matter was resolved locally and the lock of the headmaster’s room was unlocked. After that, the program was briefly concluded in about an hour.

Regarding this, the school’s headmaster Sanowar Uddin said, “During the farewell ceremony, Sarwar Awal, former general secretary of BNP Ward No. 1 of Gazipur Union of the upazila, and his people suddenly arrived. He started abusing the event as soon as he arrived. At one stage, 10-15 more people joined Awal. They suddenly took away the microphone from the headmaster’s hand. Within a short time, they locked the headmaster’s room.”

The headmaster also said that Awal and his people created such a situation by giving a verbal invitation instead of a written one. The matter was later resolved locally.

However, Sarwar Awal denied the allegations, saying he did not abuse anyone and went there at the request of his parents.

The parents asked the headmaster about charging extra money for the admit card. He denied his involvement in the incident of locking the room and said that he did not know who locked it; however, the lock was unlocked within a short time.

A court has sent a man to prison in a case filed against the father of a Jagannath University (JU) teacher over an incident in Keraniganj, Dhaka, where he was allegedly attacked for stopping drug consumption.

Dhaka Chief Judicial Magistrate Court Judge Tanvir Ahmed on Friday ordered the accused Ehsanur Haque Mahim (22) to be sent to jail. At the same time, the next hearing of the case has been fixed for Sunday. Plaintiff’s lawyer Khalid Hossain confirmed this information.

According to court sources, after the incident, the police arrested the accused Mahim and presented him in court. Later, after the hearing, the judge ordered him to be sent to jail.

According to the case information, the attack took place at around 7:30 pm on Thursday in the Madaripur Road-2 area of ​​Kalindi Union under Keraniganj Model Police Station.

According to the complaint, the accused Mahim had been chatting and consuming drugs in front of the house of Md. Raisul Islam, an associate professor of the Department of Mass Communication and Journalism at Jagannath University, for a long time. When he was asked about the matter, he threatened the victim’s family members at various times.

On the day of the incident, when teacher Raisul Islam’s father Nazrul Islam (67) forbade them from chatting, Mahim got angry and abused him in foul language and at one point threw him to the ground and punched and kicked him. Later, when he tried to hit him with an iron rod, it hit him under the eye, causing a bloody wound.

Hearing the screams, the people nearby came forward and the accused tried to escape. Later, the agitated crowd caught him and handed him over to the police.

After a 10-day ultimatum to rescue Jagannath University’s Abdur Rahman Hall and Shaheed Nazrul Islam Hall, the university branch of the Chhatra Dal has given the university administration five more days to find the necessary documents by holding a press conference.

The press conference was held in front of the university’s Bhashahid Rafiq Bhaban on Sunday afternoon. Earlier, on March 31, the ruling party’s student organization organized a hall rescue program and gave the administration a 10-day deadline.

At the press conference, university branch Chhatra Dal convener Mehedi Hasan Himel said, “It is the right of students to go to the halls. Even after August 5, there has been no progress in rescuing the halls. The new administration has come, we have sought their cooperation in rescuing the halls. In addition, we have spoken to the member of parliament from Dhaka-7 constituency and the vice-chancellor of Jagannath University. The administration has asked for time to find the necessary documents for the halls, we have asked them to inform us within five days. A deadline will be set for rescuing the halls as soon as possible.”

“Jagannath University is a university established by Begum Khaleda Zia. For this, the former leaders of the campus have worked in the interest of the university. We will also work for the overall development of the campus,” said the Chhatra Dal leader.

Students at Jagannath University have held sit-in protests against the attack and arson on a shrine in Daulatpur upazila of Kushtia and the killing of Pir Shamim Reza, attacks on people of diverse sexual orientation in Shahbagh in the capital, and mob violence across the country.

The program was held in front of the 1971 genocide sculpture at the university on Monday. Students from various departments participated in the program. Participants raised various slogans against human rights violations, communal violence and lack of justice.

Speakers at the rally said that recent incidents are a manifestation of a worrying trend of intolerance and violence in society. Such attacks on people of different identities or beliefs are in no way acceptable.

Ivan Tahsib, president of the Socialist Student Front, who participated in the sit-in, said that fascism in the past was sustained by those who practiced politics of terror and occupation. If they do not reform now, their fate will be the same.

Sayedya Mubashira, a student of the English Department for the 2023-24 academic year, said, “Our Bangladesh is a country of many languages, many diversity and many nations, many religions and many genders. It has been like this for a long time, it is still there and it will be there in the future. But a extremist group is trying to attack our peace and harmony. We are holding a sit-in program against it so that the government takes necessary measures.”

Khizir Al Sifat, a student of the Department of Sociology for the 2023-24 academic year, said that the current reality of the state—the problems that are constantly occurring, such as the lack of security for people’s lives and property, the oil crisis—is not being discussed in parliament. There, one is blaming the other, turning parliament into a circus.

Speakers at the rally demanded a swift and impartial investigation to bring those involved in the attack to justice. They also urged the administration to take effective steps to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future.
