Protests against the suspension of the RUWA (Rajshahi University Welfare Association) executive committee election have been temporarily paused following assurances from the Vice-Chancellor. The protesters called off their sit-in program after being promised the formation of a new ad-hoc committee and the resumption of election activities by Friday. However, they warned of renewed protests if the promises are not fulfilled. The election, originally scheduled for May 10, faced delays amid allegations of constitutional violations. On Wednesday night, the Chief Election Commissioner resigned citing personal reasons. A cocktail attack at the Registrar’s residence further escalated tensions, prompting the administration to suspend the election on Thursday.
