Alamgir Mohiuddin, editor of Daily Nayadigant said, today another injustice has come before us regarding Manarat University. I heard earlier that one's land was occupied by another. But now I see that educational institutions, even universities are being occupied. Manarat has been captured in its continuation. Injustice must be resisted through united efforts. I will tell the occupiers of Manarat that the day will come when you will drown.
Dr. Moazzem Hossain said, by abusing power, the board of trustees of the private university Manarat University should stop trying to illegally occupy and spoil the education environment. The people of the country are realizing that the departure of the ruling government is very close. It is the natural law of nature that after darkness comes light, and at the end of the night, a new sun rises. He called on the people of the country to play an effective role in changing the destiny of the nation in unity and preventing all evils.
Poet Abdul Hai Shikder said that today's human chain is a movement to save the country's education. Today there has been intervention in that university. There was no complaint against the trustees of this institution. He addressed the Prime Minister and Education Minister and said that even cats have escape routes. What are you doing Did a lot. Now find a way to escape.
Chairman of Bangladesh Teachers Employees Union Salim Bhuiyan said that due to the fact that the education system has gone into the hands of the people who do not belong to the society, the education of the entire country has been adversely affected. They are looting educational institutions. To get rid of this, there is no alternative to the united resistance of teachers, parents, and students.
Nurul Amin Rokan said if we cannot resist, we do not wake up, and then one by one our institutions will be destroyed.
Dr. Helal Uddin said, instead of occupying universities built by others, if you have the power, build 10 more universities and show them to the people. We request the Prime Minister and the Education Minister to look into the matter so that the university is not occupied like a char.
DUJ general secretary Shahidul Islam said that the university where people are made has been interfered with today. After eating all the sectors, the government has now destroyed the universities and colleges. The nation has seen what happened in Eden College under your occupation.
Engineer Sheikh Al Amin said the entrepreneurs of Manarat have built institutions with blood. Today that university is occupied. It's shameful. There is no such history in the world.
The human chain ends with a call to everyone to be united in any program for the sake of maintaining a fair environment for education and saving Manarat University.
