In an U-turn, Dhaka University has taken back its statement in which it called rag days “inhumane, cruel and unethical”, reports bdnews24.com. “The meeting decided to ban organisation of inhumane, cruel and unethical celebrations in the name of so-called rag days,” Wednesday’s statement had read. The council also formed a committee to make guidelines on rag day parades as part of celebrations on the completion of courses. Former students said on Facebook they never heard of “cruelty” during rag day celebrations. Many also wondered whether the authorities mistook rag days with ragging, which the former students said never happens at the university.
