Committee Member Secretary Shamsul Arefin said: "After 16 years of fascist rule, we have been able to form a full-fledged Chhatra Dal committee at Jagannath University. The committee has expanded to ensure that all those who participated in the anti-fascist movement receive their rightful positions.”
