Savar — Jahangirnagar University (JU) authorities have strongly condemned recent remarks by Jamaat leader Amir Hamza, dismissing them as fabricated and defamatory.

Hamza had claimed he was admitted to the Journalism and Media Studies department and alleged that students rinsed their mouths with alcohol in the dormitories, even assaulting teachers with sticks.

In a statement, JU clarified that the Journalism and Media Studies department was only established in 2011, making Hamza’s claim false. The administration labeled his allegations as baseless, malicious, and “deeply regrettable,” urging him to refrain from making such unfounded comments.
