Hannan said BNP would take all measures to bring back the students’ hostel in its previous condition when they would assume power.
BNP leader Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury said, “The government doesn’t want to develop the education system quality because they are establishing criminal politics in the universities one after the other with the help of their leaders and activists.”
Among the others, BNP Central Committee member former MP Shafi Ahmed Chowdhury, central committee member Ariful Haque Chowdhury, Abul Kaher Shamim, city BNP general secretary Abdul Kaiyum Jalali were among others present the visit.
