BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has criticized recent incidents in student politics, questioning whether a university Vice President (VP) should act with magisterial authority.
Rizvi remarked, “A VP can file complaints, but can they impose fines like a magistrate? University administration is responsible for monitoring shops and businesses on campus—not student leaders. Yet we see fines being imposed, and the money funneled into Jamaat’s coffers.”
He also condemned the practice of distributing iron beds in university halls under the guise of party initiatives, calling it “an alarming trend.”
His comments followed an incident at Surya Sen Hall, where Hall VP Azizul Haque fined a shop Tk 3,000 for selling monosodium glutamate (MSG). The university proctor later declared the action beyond his jurisdiction.
