Chhatra Dal activists at Rajshahi University locked the office of the RAKSU treasurer on Sunday, demanding voting rights for first-year students in the upcoming Rajshahi University Central Students’ Union elections.
They argued that freshmen have paid RAKSU fees upon admission and therefore deserve the right to vote, as is allowed in Jahangirnagar University. Some university teachers have also expressed solidarity with the demand.
Clashes broke out between the protesters and coordinators of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement during the demonstration.
Meanwhile, Sunday marks the final day for submitting nomination papers for the election. The final candidate list will be published on September 11 after scrutiny.
