Rajshahi University’s Department of Mass Communication and Journalism Professor Abdullah Al Mamun has drawn intense criticism following a controversial Facebook post about hijab and personal freedom. On October 27, he shared a photo of newly elected female hall council members wearing hijab and wrote, “I endorse this personal freedom. Tomorrow I’ll go to class wearing three-quarters and carrying a bottle of wine. Wine isn’t a drug! I even have a license to drink! Shibir and journalists, you’re welcome to come!” The post, perceived as mocking religious attire, was deleted soon after, but screenshots quickly went viral. Students gathered at Zoha Square that night, protesting and demanding disciplinary action. The Rajshahi University Central Students’ Union (RUCSU) later submitted a five-point memorandum to the vice-chancellor. On October 28, Professor Mamun apologized publicly, saying the post was written in frustration and not meant to insult anyone. Campus tensions and debates continue.
