No mercy if BCL activist found involved in extortion, warns acting president

Acting president of Bangladesh Chhatra League Al Nahean Khan Joy on Sunday said if any evidence of extortion or tender manipulation against any Chhatra League activist is found stern action will be taken against him or her instantly.

He came up with the remarks while speaking at a press briefing at Madhur Canteen of Dhaka University.

Speaking at the press briefing, Chhatra League acting general secretary Lekhak Bhattacharjee said, "The big challenge we're going to face is to form committees and arrange the next council within the next 10 months." 

He said they want to make the student organisation free from all controversies and operate it as per the instruction of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. 

Lekhak further said, "We'll make Chhatra League united under a single platform. There'll be no culture of one-man politics. We'll try to strengthen the hands of Sheikh Hasina."

On September 14, Bangladesh Chhatra League president Rezwanul Haque Chowdhury Shovon and general secretary Golam Rabbani were removed from their respective posts amid various controversies.

Later, No 1 vice-president Al Nahean Khan Joy and No 1 joint secretary Lekhak Bhattacharjee were given the charge of acting Chhatra League president and acting general secretary respectively.
