Nahid for social resistance over attacks on female students

The minister for education, Nurul Islam Nahid, on Saturday called for waging up social resistance alongside the law to contain the incidents of attacks on female students.

He called for forming a 15-minute symbolic human chain in all educational institutions across the country on October 18 to deliver a message of erecting social resistance against the attackers.

The minister was speaking at a press conference at Krishibid Institution Bangladesh in the city over the steps the ministry took following the recent incidents of attacks on female students in the country.

All institutions will hold a meeting on October 20 where members of school committees, teachers, ulema, local representatives, and local people will take part over the burning issue, he said.

They will form a committee to handle the incidents, the minister continued.

He also urged the police to arrest the perpetrators, whatever party he belongs to, and ensure their speedy trial, he added.

The press briefing of the minister followed the latest attack on Sylhet Government Women’s College student Khadiza Akter Nargis who was now on life support at Square Hospital after a Chhatra League leader hacked her indiscriminately.
