Six students of the physics department including Mohaimanul Bashar Raz, Abdullah Ar Rafi and Samiul Ehsan Shafin, attended it. "We’re eagerly waiting for the education minister to come to our campus for discussion." Students had begun protests earlier this month to demand the resignation of Zafrin Ahmed Liza, provost of Shahjalal University’s Begum Sirajunnesa Chowdhury Hall, for misbehaving with students. Later, the students launched a hunger strike to push for the removal of the VC and the dismissal of the case against protesters. Seven days later, the hunger strike was broken by popular writer Mohammed Zafar Iqbal, a former professor of the university, and his wife Yasmin Haque who also taught there.
