Rabi's legal department gave an ultimatum to break up the syndicate within 6 hours

Today Thursday (September 26) around 4:00 pm, the students took a stand in front of the administration building holding placards with various texts in front of the law department. At that time, they said, in view of the complaint raised against Associate Professor Sadiqul Islam Sagar, appropriate action was demanded. However, the dean of the faculty of law, Prof. Abu Nasser Mohammad Waheed, is a member of the syndicate and has taken the side of Sadiqul Islam Sagar. Therefore, they held a sit-in today demanding the resignation of the dean along with the dissolution of the syndicate.
At this time, 'Aiding rape includes rape', 'Save our female students', 'Save my female students', 'Why is the oppressor outside? The teachers and students who took a stand are seen holding placards and slogans with various texts such as "I want the administration's response", "I want punishment for the rapist".
Professor of law department in the position program. Zulfikar Ahmed said, based on the complaint brought against Sagar, we teachers of the department held an emergency meeting. An inquiry committee was formed there where evidence of multiple allegations against him was found. All those who have held various positions in this fascist government have abused their positions in the last 15 years. As a result of the rape of university students, Sagar has now taken teachers to the place of oppressors, which is a shame for us as teachers. Rajshahi University has become a bully's university. I can see the face of the rapist in different sections. We are afraid that our VC will not be allowed to work freely by the friends of fascism. We reject those who reject our truth-seeking work, and we reject this syndicate.
At that time, Professor Murshidul Islam Peter, another teacher of the law department, said that in view of the students' complaints, I went to the investigation committee against him (Sadikul Sagar) and found that he had committed not one but more than one rape. Had he had a little more time, he might have crossed the 100 mark. What is Jahangirnagar University! Where VC, Pro-VC did not take any action against her after committing 100 rapes. The dean of our faculty and currently a member of the syndicate said to this department, 'Zero tolerance'. But why is he silent about Sadiqul Sagar after so many complaints?
In this regard, Proctor Prof. Mahbubur Rahman said that the decision taken by the law department and the preliminary facts of sexual harassment found by searching and checking have been taken into consideration by the university authorities. It has been sent to the sexual assault cell for proper investigation. The decision taken by the Law Department to exempt him from examination, various activities has been accepted by the Syndicate.
He also said that even though there was no chancellor, pro-vice chancellor in the university, the offices were fine. Although there is a sexual harassment cell, there are no members. I have informed the vice chancellor about you. He said that within the first working day of his return, the sexual assault cell had been set up anew. I think we should wait to see if the inquiry committee of the sexual assault cell is constituted, whether the matters go to the inquiry committee and then if not then you continue the logical movement. We want all of us to have the spirit of the revolution of 24. We don't want discrimination, just like we don't want sexual harassment.
Dean of the Faculty of Law Prof. Abu Nasser Mohammad Wahid received several calls and said, "I am in a meeting now." I don't know anything about their complaint.
It is to be noted that on August 27, the concerned department has temporarily exempted Sadiqul Islam Sagar, associate professor of the law department of Rajshahi University (RABI) from all kinds of academic activities due to the complaint of sexual harassment.
