Sarjis Alam has criticized the delay in addressing the legitimate demands of Jagannath University (JnU) students. "Why is there such reluctance to act?" he asked in a statement. Highlighting the lack of residential halls, especially for female students, Sarjis questioned why spaces occupied by Awami League-affiliated groups around the campus haven't been reclaimed. He urged the authorities to prioritize the construction of a permanent campus and expedite its approval by ECNEC. "Let Jagannath University function as a real university, not in name only," he added.
