Jahangirnagar University (JU) unit Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and pro-AL teachers yesterday demanded punishment to a teacher for allegedly posting a derogatory comment on social networking site Facebook against the prime minister.
BCL leaders and activists brought out a procession on the campus around 3:00pm and held a rally demanding expulsion of Muhammad Ruhul Amin Khandaker, a lecturer of Department of Information and Technology (IT).
The post uploaded at 7:40pm on August 13 from Ruhul's account, on the context of Tareque Masud and Ashfaque Munier Mishuk's deaths, questioned why the prime minister does not die, said JU unit BCL Vice President SM Niamul Parvez.
The JU authorities yesterday formed a five-member committee led by Pro-Vice Chancellor Dr Md Farhad Hossain to probe the incident.
Dr Farhad said, "The vice chancellor formed the committee to probe the matter."
Niamul said they would continue agitating until and unless the teacher is expelled and punitive measures are taken against him.
Ruhul, currently abroad on education leave, joined the department in 2008.
