The authorities of Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (Kuet) have found that some teachers and staff are facilitating the activities of radical group Islami Chhatra Shibir on the campus, where student politics is not banned but restricted. “The teachers, officers and staff engaged with Shibir patronise its supporters directly and indirectly to establish supremacy. The activities of Shibir, the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami, came to light after the arrest of 18 Shibir members in separate raids. Although four student groups – Bangladesh Chhatra League, Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal, Bangladesh Students’ Union and Shibir – have fully-fledged committees at Kuet, only Chhatra League has some political activities on the campus. “We have a council of teachers and student representatives from the dormitories,” he told the Dhaka Tribune Thursday.
