Polytechnic students announce new programme

The Technical Students’ Movement, an alliance of students under the Bangladesh Technical Education Board, has announced that they will hold a grand rally across the country tomorrow, Sunday, to press home their six-point demands.

As part of the pre-announced ‘Rise in Red’ campaign, students of Dhaka Polytechnic Institute formed a human chain in front of the institute’s main gate in the capital’s Tejgaon on Saturday (April 19) around 12 PM.

The students voiced their demands, holding placards and chanting various slogans. Their slogans included: “The blood is on fire, Abu Sayeed, Mugdha, the battle isn’t over yet,” “Weapons to build the nation, rise again,” “Why the attack in Cumilla? We demand answers!” “Why the dramatic meetings? Enough of AC room negotiations,” “Polytechnic students, unite!” and “We’ve shed blood, and we will shed more if needed, wrongdoing will drown in a flood of blood.”

From the human chain, they announced tomorrow’s programme.
