Protesting students of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) ended their hunger strike at the request of renowned writer and former SUST Professor Dr Muhammad Zafar Iqbal. Mohammed Zafar Iqbal and his wife Yasmeen Haque gave the students water to drink to end their hunger strike at 10:25am on Wednesday, reports bdnews24.com. The two former SUST teachers spoke to the protesters for about two hours and assured them of working for a solution. “You’ve promised me to end the hunger strike today. I wanted the strike to end right now, but you wanted to do it together,” Prof Iqbal had told the students earlier in the presence of the media.
