Seditious Comments: Asif Nazrul’s office locked, effigy burnt

Staff Correspondent

Bangladesh Muktijuddha Mancha, a platform of the descendants of freedom fighters, on Wednesday locked the office of Prof Dr Asif Nazrul, chairman of the Law department at Dhaka University, for his reported seditious remarks.

The mancha activists also burnt him in effigy on the campus during a human chain and protest rally in front of the Raju Sculpture in the afternoon demanding his immediate arrest and dismissal from Dhaka University.

Organisation President Aminul Islam Bulbul presided over the rally moderated by its General Secretary Md Al Mamun.
Sonnet Mahmud, president of the DU chapter of the organisation, and Roman Hossain, vice-president of the central committee, spoke at the programme.

Describing him as the patron of fundamentalism, Bulbul declared Asif Nazrul persona non grata on the DU campus. “Asif Nazrul, a stigma to the teacher community, will be resisted wherever he is found.”

He demanded Asif Nazrul’s immediate arrest and dismissal from Dhaka University for making provocative statements in support of the Taliban, threatening to announce a strict programme if the demand goes unheeded.

Mamun said Asif Nazrul had made anti-state remarks on social media after the Taliban forcibly captured state power in Afghanistan, which was against the country’s customary law and constitution.

“His remarks that a fair election could lead to a Kabul airport-like scene in Bangladesh is completely anti-state and a deep conspiracy to incite militant groups. He needs to be arrested and interrogated immediately,” the mancha leader said.

“It’s important to dig out which Taliban-backed militant group has links with him. Besides, those who are making provocative statements in Bangladesh in support of the Taliban should also be identified and brought under the law,” he said.
After the programme, the leaders of the organisation locked the office of the DU law department chairman at Qazi Motahar Hossain Bhaban.
