Earlier on the same day, as Nur told the striking students that he would take oath to his elected post, the students told him to do so over their dead bodies. “If you want to take the oath, you will have to do it over our dead bodies,” Rafia Tamanna, a hunger striker, told Nur.” “I would not do so and would reconsider the decision,” Nur replied. When students forbade Nur to meet the Prime Minister, Nur said: “I have been demanding reelection since the beginning but we have to take a decision upon consulting with everyone. “We will not end our strike until the authorities declare a schedule for fresh elections,” Rafia told the Dhaka Tribune. Allegations were also raised at Ruqayyah hall where students discovered three ballot boxes outside the booth during the elections.
