Current and former students and teachers of Jagannath University have begun a sit-in protest at Kakrail intersection to press home their three-point demand. The gathering started around 10 a.m. near the northeastern side of the Kakrail Mosque, with a mass hunger strike planned after Friday prayers. Former Jagannath University student and Jamaat-e-Islami leader Shahin Ahmed Khan urged the interim government to promptly accept the demands. Maksudur Rahman, former VP of the Jagannath University Chhatra Dal, stated that these are longstanding and legitimate demands.
